“The response to NexTech’s AR and virtual experience offerings has been overwhelmingly positive; we have 7 quotes in the market in just the first 30 days. Every other day we’re connecting with potential partners inside and outside of our networks, who are particularly interested in the AR component but who are also seeing the additional value of our comprehensive virtual experiences,” Yau Boon Lim, President and Managing Director, Asia Pacific at NexTech AR. “Our strategy for growth and scaling has always been on building an ecosystem of channel partners in key industries that are high growth and can benefit in the short and long term from these technologies. We are confident that this first group of eight will be an integral part in helping us scale Southeast Asia, and they are the first of many more strategic partnerships that will emerge through our efforts in this market.”

A report by Allied Market Research notes that the Asia Pacific MICE industry generated revenue of $229 billion in 2017 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.6% to reach $441.1 billion by 2025, providing a significant opportunity for virtual and hybrid events. In the education industry, e-learning was evaluated as a $35 billion market in 2019 and is expected to surpass $90 billion by 2026.

 

“We are thrilled to have Yau Boon sign up such an impressive group of partners so quickly which speaks to the interest in our technology and products. These eight partners are a key first step for our expansion within the Asia Pacific Market. We are growing very rapidly in North America and the EMEA regions, and plan to continue this fast growth with expansion into the Asia Pacific market. We believe NexTech should be accessible 24/7 and through these partnerships, we are able to do just that. The education and MICE industries represent significant growth opportunities and with the support of our growing list of partners, we believe we’ll be able to get in front of the right decision makers, which will drive the rapid adoption of our products and services and will continue to drive our revenue growth in 2021 and beyond” said Evan Gappelberg, CEO of NexTech AR.
