Daniel Japiassu, CEO of YDX Innovation stated:
This has been a very important year for the future of the Company. We have created a solid foundation of new products and content that has the potential to generate growth for the Company in the next years. It was a necessary investment that we had to push forward in order to see the exponential revenue growth that is expected from us. Arkave has evolved into a marketplace for location-based VR and that’s a big innovation to the industry. The experience we are creating with Disney opened doors all over the globe and we are eager to reveal what should be one of the coolest experiences in Virtual Reality created until now. We have several new exhibitions that can be exported worldwide, not to mention high-end large projects for companies like Energisa and Embraer that we will be able to offer to similar companies in North America. It’s important to take in consideration that aggressive growth depends on large financing and investments, which we did not have access to this year. Naturally, that affected our results, but we are showing that the company will keep delivering great innovation and positive results.
