Nextech3D.AI partnered with The Squadron to add F-35 fighter jet simulations to its Krafty Lab platform, enhancing immersive leadership and team-building experiences. It also signed a Tier 1 enterprise pilot deal with a multinational bank for three in-person events across three countries, with a global rollout in Q3 2026.

1. CEO.CA Inside the Boardroom Feature

On February 4, 2026, Nextech3D.ai’s CEO Evan Gappelberg appeared on CEO.CA’s Inside the Boardroom to unveil the company’s AI-driven event management strategy. He detailed how the firm’s semantic AI and intelligent data platforms will centralize global event operations by unifying registration, interactive floor plans, engagement tools and real-time analytics into a single operating system. Gappelberg highlighted that this integrated approach will serve Fortune 500 enterprises and global associations by reducing operational complexity, improving attendee engagement metrics by up to 40%, and optimizing exhibitor and sponsor performance through predictive analytics.

2. Expansion of Krafty Lab with Advanced Flight Simulations

Nextech3D.ai announced a strategic partnership with simulation provider The Squadron to integrate high-fidelity flight experiences into its Krafty Lab platform. Starting in March 2026, corporate clients will have access to F-35 fighter jet simulations and customizable aviation scenarios designed for leadership development and team-building. The agreement positions Krafty Lab as a premium experiential offering, expected to drive a 25% increase in enterprise engagement bookings during the pilot phase and to open new revenue streams in the advanced training segment.

3. Tier 1 Enterprise Deal and International Expansion

In late January 2026, Nextech3D.ai signed its first Tier 1 enterprise starter agreement with a multinational universal bank and financial services company. The deal includes a pilot program of three in-person events across three countries: Canada, Germany and Singapore. Each event will leverage the full Krafty Lab suite—registration, spatial floor plans by MapD and immersive engagement modules—and is scheduled for Q2 2026, with a broader global rollout planned for Q3 2026. The agreement is projected to contribute recurring SaaS revenue and strengthen Nextech3D.ai’s presence in international enterprise markets.
