NestX will debut during The Nest Campus's annual event, September 22–24, 2026, as a dedicated platform at the intersection of artificial intelligence and the resilience economy. It will bring together leading AI startups, investors, and technology companies to accelerate the deployment of scalable solutions across energy systems, industrial transformation, the built environment, supply chains, food, water and natural capital.

The partnership connects two of the most influential gatherings in their respective sectors. The Nest Campus convenes senior decision-makers, corporate buyers, and capital providers across the full resilience economy during New York Climate Week. HumanX brings the AI community's leading voices and innovators together to explore real-world applications of artificial intelligence at scale. NestX is where those two communities meet.

"We are already seeing massive amounts of investment flowing into the resilience space,” said Stefan Weitz, CEO of HumanX. “AI, like in every major industry going forward, is going to be a critical component. NestX brings these two forces together in a focused, impactful, and commercially meaningful way."

Peter Gilmer, CEO of The Nest Campus, framed the partnership as a direct response to how capital and technology are reshaping the resilience economy. “AI allows us to identify, finance, and scale the most effective solutions with unprecedented speed and precision. This is how we move from ambition to deployment — and from incremental progress to exponential impact,” said Gilmer. “We want to ensure that AI and innovation leaders are part of the conversation that shapes the next decade of effective resilience. NestX creates the space for those two worlds to engage meaningfully."

The Nest Campus also acknowledges that AI is not a silver bullet. Its energy demands are real, and the risks of deploying it irresponsibly are equally real. But AI is also already optimizing energy grids, modeling climate risk at scale, accelerating materials discovery, and improving resilience across supply chains and infrastructure. NestX exists precisely because the resilience economy needs the right people shaping how this technology gets used.

The Nest Campus convenes leaders across six sectors driving the resilience economy:

• Energy and Industrial Transformation
• AI and Technology
• Cities and Infrastructure
• Supply Chains
• Food, Water, and Natural Capital
• Risk and Finance

Together, these sectors represent what Larry Fink has called "the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime." NestX will concentrate the AI and technology innovation layer across all of them.

NestX attendees can expect a curated showcase of breakthrough AI-driven startups, facilitated one-on-one meetings between founders, investors, and enterprise buyers, and high-level programming from global leaders across AI, finance, and industry.
