Who we are
Nextspace’s current CEO, Mark Thomas, has focused his career on the development of world-leading digital twin technology.
In 1997, Mark founded Right Hemisphere— a leading provider of 3D visual enterprise solutions that developed digital twins for Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Space X, amongst others. Right Hemisphere was acquired by SAP in 2011 and now forms part of SAP’s 3D Visual Enterprise suite.
Mark founded Nextspace in 2007 as a project between Right Hemisphere and the New Zealand Government. The mission was to advance the country’s 3D visualization expertise.
Fast-forward a decade and 2018 saw Mark return to ‘restart’ Nextspace with the challenge of solving the data interoperability issues that plagued his work with Right Hemisphere digital twins.
We have active partners and customers across North America, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Australasia.
