Nextech3D.ai is taking a significant step toward expanding its presence in enterprise event technology with the announced acquisition of Krafty Labs, an AI-powered event engagement platform that has supported events for hundreds of large global organizations. The transaction, once completed, is expected to meaningfully expand Nextech3D.ai’s customer footprint and strengthen its positioning in the rapidly evolving event-technology landscape.
For investors, the announcement signals a strategic shift. Nextech3D.ai is moving beyond its origins in 3D and immersive technology toward a broader AI-driven event solutions strategy, focused on enterprise customers seeking more integrated, automated, and data-driven event platforms.
A Strategic Acquisition in a Modernizing Market
Krafty Labs delivers AI-enabled engagement tools used across a wide range of in-person, virtual, and hybrid events. According to company disclosures, the platform has been utilized by more than 400 Fortune 500 and multinational organizations, supporting events for globally recognized brands.
If the acquisition closes as expected, Krafty Labs is anticipated to contribute:
- Approximately $1.1 million in high-margin revenue
• A customer base that expands Nextech3D.ai’s total ecosystem to more than 1,000 organizations
• Enterprise relationships spanning North America, Europe, and the Middle East
• A proven platform supporting both live and digital event formats
CEO Evan Gappelberg has described the transaction as a turning point in the company’s longer-term strategy to scale its enterprise offerings and accelerate adoption of AI-driven event technologies.
Advancing Toward a Unified AI Event Platform
A central strategic objective following the transaction is the planned integration of Nextech3D.ai’s existing event technologies with Krafty Labs’ engagement platform. Management has indicated that the company intends to bring multiple capabilities under a more unified AI-powered ecosystem over time.
Planned areas of integration include:
- Registration, ticketing, and badging
• Mobile applications and 3D venue mapping
• AI-driven matchmaking, recommendations, and networking
• Blockchain-enabled ticketing concepts
• AR navigation and real-time event analytics
Historically, enterprises have relied on multiple vendors to support these functions. Nextech3D.ai aims to reduce that complexity by offering a more consolidated, AI-enabled solution as its platform roadmap progresses.
Financial Contribution and Growth Strategy
Over the 15-month period ending March 1, 2025, Krafty Labs reported:
- Approximately $3.5 million in revenue
• Approximately $2.2 million in gross profit
Management believes that, following closing, the acquisition can support broader growth initiatives, including cross-selling Nextech3D.ai’s technologies to Krafty Labs customers, scaling its sales organization, and converting a growing pipeline of inbound enterprise leads.
The company has outlined forward-looking growth targets, including aspirations for accelerated revenue growth in 2026 and the potential to build a larger recurring SaaS revenue base over the coming years. These targets reflect management expectations and remain subject to execution and market conditions.
Enterprise Exposure Through Global Brands
Krafty Labs has supported events for a range of high-profile organizations, including:
- Google
• Meta
• Netflix
• Microsoft
• Oracle
• Cisco
• Spotify
• Dropbox
These engagements reflect the platform’s ability to meet the complex requirements of large organizations, including scalability, customization, and data-driven engagement. Nextech3D.ai believes this exposure provides a strong foundation for deeper enterprise adoption as its platform offerings continue to expand.
Management has also noted early discussions in markets such as Dubai and the United States, exploring broader deployments and additional use cases across enterprise and public-sector environments.
Positioning Within a Competitive Industry
The event-technology sector includes long-established providers as well as newer, AI-focused entrants. Nextech3D.ai is positioning its offering around several differentiators:
- AI-powered engagement and analytics
• Support for hybrid, virtual, and in-person events
• 3D visualization and AR-enabled navigation
• Flexible integrations with enterprise systems
• A roadmap focused on automation and personalization
Rather than replacing existing workflows overnight, the company aims to evolve its platform to meet emerging enterprise demands as the industry modernizes.
Looking Ahead
With the announced Krafty Labs acquisition, Nextech3D.ai is seeking to accelerate its transition toward enterprise-focused, AI-driven event solutions. If completed, the transaction would expand the company’s customer base, add recurring revenue, and support a broader platform strategy centered on integration and automation.
For investors, the narrative is shifting from early development toward execution. While growth targets and platform integration remain forward-looking, Nextech3D.ai is positioning itself to compete more actively for enterprise event-technology opportunities in the years ahead.
