This visionary symposium, held in partnership with NASA, sets the stage for the upcoming Xperience Competition grand challenge—bridging local innovation with NASA's ambitious 2040 vision for lunar colonization.
A 3-day symposium that brings together pioneers, visionaries, and creatives across all disciplines to explore how cutting-edge technology, arts, and innovation can converge to shape the future.
At NEXPLORE 2040, attendees vote on the specific topic for the upcoming Xperience competition, ensuring that our focus aligns with the most pressing issues identified by experts and innovators.
Over the next 15 months, student teams will develop solutions directly addressing the grand challenge chosen at NEXPLORE 2040. Throughout the competition, they’ll have access to the xFoundry Resource MatriX to support and refine their solutions.
A 15-month journey of intense collaboration, learning, and growth. The Xperience Competition culminates in a Shark Tank-style pitch event, where teams present their solutions to a panel of judges for a chance to launch a venture around their solution with up to $2M in investment.
xFoundry transforms winning solutions into real-world ventures, bridging innovation from local impact to NASA's space exploration goals.
