NexTech said the purchases further bolstered its cash and inventory position which is already over $3 million.

In a statement, Gappelberg commented: “With the acquisition of our new Virtual Events software platform Jolokia whose customers include Johnson and Johnson, Viacom, Polycom and others, I’m more confident than ever with our business model for 2020 and beyond”.

He added: “Personally, I believe the current stock price still does not yet reflect NexTech’s strong market leadership position and growth potential for our new InfernoAR platform, Aritize360 app, ARitize app, 3D/AR ad network and WebAR business in 2020 and beyond, which is why I continue to invest personal funds in company shares”.
