American Marconi Wireless News - ARway Corp. Announces Definitive Agreement for Nextech3D.ai to Acquire 100% of ARway Shares

The Transaction reunifies ARway with Nextech3D.ai and Map Dynamics ("Map D"), enabling a fully integrated platform that combines AI, AR navigation, and large-scale event technology into one cohesive solution.

Strategic Rationale for ARway Shareholders

ARway's technology - no-code AR navigation using visual marker tracking - has gained traction across enterprise, retail, and venue-based applications. By reintegrating with Nextech3D.ai, ARway will benefit from:

• Streamlined operations and reduced overhead

Consolidating into Nextech's technology ecosystem removes duplicative administrative and operational costs.

• Accelerated product innovation

ARway's AR navigation system will be integrated directly into Map D's event suite, which currently supports hundreds of events annually with interactive floor plans, exhibitor tools, ticketing, badge printing, mobile apps, AI matchmaking, and blockchain ticketing.

• A unified event & navigation platform

Together with Nextech's AI and 3D modeling capabilities, ARway will become part of a single end-to-end platform covering:

• Event setup and management

• AI-powered attendee/exhibitor matchmaking

• AR and AI navigation inside venues

• Ticketing, payment technologies, and blockchain tools

This positions ARway's technology for broader commercial adoption within the global events and enterprise navigation sectors.

Nextech management also holds an additional ~20% stake in ARway, demonstrating strong alignment and long-term commitment to ARway's success.

About ARway

ARway was originally incubated within Nextech before being spun out and listed independently in 2022. The platform enables indoor navigation without beacons, GPS, or hardware-powered solely by visual markers and AI. After completion of the Transaction, ARway will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nextech3D.ai, with its AR navigation tools fully integrated into the Map D ecosystem.

CEO Comment

"This Transaction sets ARway on an accelerated path forward. By rejoining Nextech3D.ai and integrating directly with Map D, we are unlocking a larger commercial opportunity for our AR navigation technology within an AI-powered unified event platform."
