Of course, happy new year and kicking off the new year. We're finally starting with a clean slate and a new relationship with the OTCQX. Congratulations on that.

And when it comes to the new year, new year, new me kind of thing. But when it comes to the new relationship that was just formed right at the end of 2022, where do you see that going and developing down the road with the OTCQX.

Evan Gappelberg

So we've always had the goal to increase shareholder value, and we see this upgrade to the OTCQX as an opportunity for us to allow more investors to purchase shares in NexTech AR Solutions as we continue to expand our business into the 3D modeling space. 3D modeling is taking off now in 2022. It started to happen. We landed Amazon. And now in 2023, we're seeing a continuation of that momentum. And so the idea is to position the company and the company's shareholders in front of this mega trend, this 3D augmented reality mega trend. And so uplifting to the OTCQX seemed like the natural thing, the natural progression for us at this moment in time.

It sounds like it has been. And you've mentioned sort of the bread and butter of NexTech 3D modeling and augmented reality. Could you give the community at the OTCQX, a little bit more context about what that all is about?

Evan Gappelberg

executive
#8

Sure. So if you go online and you shop what more and more people are doing, sometimes it's hard to tell the shape and the size and what the product is going to look like in your house. And so with 3D models, which is what NexTech makes using proprietary AI, we're able to give consumers the opportunity to take a 3D model of a product off the screen and put it in the room with them using augmented reality. So you could see a couch, you could see a table, a chair, you could see even a bed in your bedroom, you can see the size, the shape, the color. And then ultimately, that leads to a higher click-through rate, 250% higher conversion rate and a 40% reduction in returns, which is a huge deal for e-commerce. So obviously, all the e-com big-box stores and even the mid-tier players are now pivoting to 3D. It's really the equivalent of the dial-up modems, back in the beginning of the Internet to high-speed modems today or even if you look at film, if you remember, people used to actually go and develop their film and print it. Now everything is digitized. It's that same kind of mega trend where you're just going to shop in 3D and augmented reality, and you'll forget that there was even another way of shopping that 2D is just going to go the way of the dodo bird. It's just going to cease to exist. And we're right just positioned right time, right place right now, timing is key for this market. And obviously, COVID kind of gave it a turbo boost because everybody shopped online during 2020, and that really pushed the industry forward by 5 years, which was very, very positive for Nextech.

And time being the right time at the right place now that you've positioned yourself with the OTCQX, and essentially opening up the opportunity to see more investors in a wider market and taking the company's roots from Canada to the entire North American market. What can we expect in the coming year from Nextech?

Evan Gappelberg

executive
#10

Yes. So we're really global. We have clients all over the world, whether it's Asia, North America, as you mentioned, even the Middle East is getting in on 3D models and, of course, Europe. So we're really a global company. We supply major global brands with our 3D models. And from my standpoint, it's blue skies. We see a tremendous amount of demand for our services and we see that continuing really for the next decade because there's something like 400 million 3D models that need to be created. It's everything that's ever been made, everything that's being produced today, and everything that's being produced tomorrow, that all has to be converted into a 3D digital twin, a 3D model. And we've been at it now for 4 years. We have some proprietary AI. And as you mentioned, the timing is just perfect. And so again, back to the OTCQX, we see that as also perfect timing for the company where our business is aligned with this upgrade to the OTCQX.
