Introduction
Israel's technology firms are known for their innovation and creativity. NextVision is one such company that
specializes in stabilized imaging solutions for ground and aerial platforms. I recently attended NextVision's 2023
Investor Conference (on March 11, 2024), and in this review, I will share my impressions from the meeting without
addressing the company's valuation or investment merits.
Background on NextVision
NextVision is a public company that is traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. It develops advanced imaging
solutions and stabilized camera payloads for ground vehicles, aerostats, UAVs, and other mobile platforms in
defense, HLS, and commercial markets. Founded in 2008, NextVision is headquartered in Israel and has subsidiaries
and partners worldwide.

Deep Belief in Strategy
NextVision's management believes in its approach, which focuses on ensuring long-term success instead of maximizing
short-term profits.
Innovation at the Core
NextVision considers innovation the engine of its success. The company invests heavily in developing its employees'
talents and provides all necessary tools. Additionally, NextVision continually develops new ideas and solutions for
current and potential customers.
Customer Preference and Lifetime Value
Customers who choose NextVision's products commit to a philosophy of working with the company's imaging solutions.
According to the CEO, most customers build their overall product architecture around NextVision's solutions. This
makes it relatively challenging to switch to competing products, as product integration occurs at both the
physical/engineering and software development/system integration levels.
The implication is that NextVision's customers receive a comprehensive solution beyond the product, leading to
long-term cooperation with the company.
Ambitious 2024 Goals
The company has set ambitious goals for 2024. Whether it will achieve them is still unknown, but management seems
comfortable declaring these goals based on the current order backlog for 2024 and beyond.
U.S. Market Growth Potential
NextVision sees significant growth potential in the U.S. market. However, penetrating it requires time and
patience. If the company can accomplish this, the returns could be substantial.

Acquisition Strategy for Market Entry
NextVision believes that the best way to enter the U.S. market is through acquisitions of other companies. However,
such acquisitions are complex, and quality companies with unique technological solutions may prefer to remain
independent to realize their vision.
The Future: Remain Independent or Get Acquired?
NextVision's future, whether remaining an independent company or being acquired by a larger entity, is still open
for discussion. A U.S. public offering could be the company's next step.
Disclosure
As of writing this review, I hold shares in the company. However, this is not a recommendation to purchase, and I
may change my holdings. Investing requires research and discretion.
