Evan Gappelberg - CEO Commentary:
"In 2022, our company placed significant emphasis on addressing the growing global demand for our 3D modelling and AR solutions designed for the ecommerce sector in web3.0. As we progress into 2023, we are seeing continued evidence of this trend, with our business remaining strong and experiencing growth. As previously announced in Q3 of 2022, Amazon became our customer, making them our largest enterprise customer for 3D model delivery in ecommerce. As Amazon is widely regarded as a leader in ecommerce, their decision to transition from 2D to 3D models serves as a strong indicator of the direction the industry is heading towards. We believe this highlights the staying power of 3D models, which will continue to drive the multi-decade, $5 trillion dollar ecommerce megatrend moving forward." He continued, "In the coming decade, 3D models will be a prerequisite for competing in various industries such as ecommerce, medicine, education, and events. At Nextech, we specialize in creating superior, cost-effective, and timely 3D models. We make them better, faster and cheaper than any other company I know of, and this positions us to be the leaders of this rapidly growing, trillion-dollar megatrend. While it was quite a challenge to get here, we are here now, and we are confident that we are optimally positioned to benefit from the rapid growth in demand for 3D models. From our vantage point we see nothing but blue sky opportunities."
