Paul Duffy, President & Chairman of Nextech AR Solutions Corp says “The 365 Marketplace brings the restaurant industry into the metaverse, providing a completely digital marketplace where 3D models and AR experiences, including holograms, can be utilized to connect Buyers and Sellers and provide a much more interactive experience than a traditional online marketplace.” He continues “By partnering with Nextech, and employing Nextech’s ground-breaking technology, Restaurants Canada is showing they are pioneers in the Restaurant Industry and are setting the stage for how business will be conducted going forward and in the future. These are truly exciting times for the Canadian Food and Beverage Industry, and I am excited to see it all unfold.”

The 365 MetaMarketplace launch opens up an opportunity for Nextech to expand this same marketplace model into other industries’ globally, as it provides a replicable platform which can be modified to fit other industries requirements. Live Streaming and 360 Product Embeds are distinguishing capabilities of the marketplace, as well as sponsorship revenue opportunities with sponsor ads within the marketplace.

As part of the metamarketplace, the new ‘Pavilions’ feature gives organizers even more opportunities for sponsorship and promotion of their content. Pavilions are easy to create using a series of drag-and-drop tools that automatically connect content already entered, such as full vendor, speaker, and session profiles.

Nextech is currently testing this marketplace technology with additional select clients and plan to offer it for all soon. Nextech anticipates the marketplace to potentially be the beginning of a very profitable avenue of revenue, as it expands its technology further into the marketplace sector.
