VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 15, 2022 / AMPD Ventures Inc.
(CSE:AMPD)(OTCQB:AMPDF)(FRA:2Q0) ("AMPD" or the "Company"), a next-generation
digital infrastructure provider, is pleased to announcethat its wholly-owned
subsidiary, AMPD Technologies (Canada) Inc. ("AMPD Technologies"), has entered
into a binding Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Unleash Future Boats
GmbH ("UFB"), for CAD $1.8 million in revenue to AMPD as part of an
anticipated broader collaborative relationship between the two companies. UFB
are experts in water-based autonomous transportation and recipients of the
Regulatory Sandbox Innovations Award by the Federal Republic of Germany.

AMPD Technologies will be developing and manufacturing four Computing
Containers which will then be shipped to Schleswig-Holstein in Germany to
commence "Proof of Concept" trials on a government-approved 42 km test field
Schlei for autonomous ships. This agreement marks an exciting new vertical for
AMPD Technologies in the zero-emission, autonomous, maritime vessel market.
The global autonomous ships market size was estimated to be worth USD $5.8
billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD $14.2 billion by 2030, at a
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3% from 2020 to 2030^1.

The signing of the definitive agreement contemplated by the MOU is contingent
upon the successful awarding of funds from the German Federal Ministry for
Digital and Transportation, regarding a previously submitted funding grant to
develop the Digital Port Schleswig-Holstein. The grant award is anticipated by
the fourth quarter of 2022.

"UFB and AMPD share the vision of a sustainable, greener future," commented
Anthony Brown, CEO of AMPD Ventures. "Having the opportunity to architect and
build the next generation of digital infrastructure for maritime traffic, that
will support zero-emissions watercraft, is very exciting. Lars and his team in
Germany have developed first-class expertise in autonomous vehicle technology
and we are looking forward to building out this solution that will have global
implications together."

"We are very pleased to enter into a formal relationship with our Canadian
partners, AMPD Technologies and their extremely impressive, high-performance
computing capabilities," said Lars Engelhard, Founder and CEO of Unleash
Future Boats.
