TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / December 2, 2025 / Nextech3D.ai (CSE:NTAR,OTC:NEXCF)(OTCQX:NEXCF)(FSE:1SS), Nextech an AI-first 3D modeling and event technology company, and Arway is pleased to announce that they have entered into a definitive agreement dated December 1, 2025 (the ‘Definitive Agreement‘) setting forth the terms and conditions of their previously announced transaction pursuant to which Nextech proposes to acquire all of the common shares of Arway (‘Arway Shares‘) which it does not already own (the ‘Transaction‘). The Transaction will allow Nextech to further consolidate its technology stack with Arway and Map Dynamics (‘Map D‘), creating a more unified and competitive offering for the global events industry while streamlining operations.
Strategic Rationale
Owned by Arway, Map D supports hundreds of events annually with interactive floor plans, exhibitor tools, ticketing, badge printing, mobile apps, and blockchain ticketing. Bringing Arway back in-house is expected to streamline operations, eliminate redundant overhead, and accelerate development across AI, AR, and navigation technologies.
Nextech currently owns ~40% of Arway, with management holding an additional ~20%, demonstrating strong alignment and long-term commitment.
The consolidation is expected to:
Reduce costs through team and technology integration
Accelerate product innovation by combining AI, AR navigation, and 3D tools into a single event platform
The unified suite will span event setup, AI matchmaking, AR/AI navigation, ticketing, payments, and blockchain capabilities-supporting Nextech’s strategy of growing recurring SaaS revenue.
About ARway
Arway, spun out from Nextech in 2022, provides no-code, no-hardware AR navigation. Following the Transaction, it will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary with its technology embedded directly into Map D.
CEO Comment
‘This reacquisition streamlines Nextech3D.ai into a stronger, more unified company. Integrating Arway with Map D accelerates our vision for a full AI-powered event technology suite.’
