SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nest Campus, the world’s largest gathering of leaders who are defining and accelerating the global resilient economy, and HumanX, the premier conference for AI decision makers and industry leaders, today announced a strategic partnership to launch NestX, the AI center for Climate Week NYC.
NestX will debut as a purpose-built platform at the intersection of artificial intelligence and the resilient economy during The Nest Campus’ annual event, September 22-24, 2026. Leading AI startups, investors, and technology companies will come together to accelerate the deployment of scalable solutions across energy systems, industrial transformation, the built environment, supply chain, food, water, and natural capital.
This partnership brings together two of the most influential gatherings in their respective fields. The Nest Campus will bring together senior decision makers, corporate buyers and capital providers from across the Full Resilience economy during New York Climate Week. HumanX brings together leading voices and innovators in the AI community to explore real-world applications of artificial intelligence at scale. NestX is where these two communities meet.
“There is already a huge amount of investment flowing into the resilience space,” said HumanX CEO Stephen Weitz. “Like other major industries, AI will become a critical component in the future. NestX brings these two forces together in a focused, impactful and commercially meaningful way.”
Peter Gilmer, CEO of The Nest Campus, said the company built this partnership as a direct response to how capital and technology are rebuilding resilient economies. “AI allows us to identify, fund, and scale the most effective solutions with unprecedented speed and precision. This is how we move from ambition to adoption, and from incremental progress to exponential impact,” Gilmer said. “We want to ensure that AI and innovation leaders are included in the conversations that will shape effective resilience in the next decade. NestX creates a space for these two worlds to meaningfully engage.”
Nest Campus also acknowledges that AI is not a silver bullet. That energy demand is real, and the risks of deploying it irresponsibly are also real. But AI is also already working to optimize energy grids, model climate risks at scale, accelerate materials discovery, and improve resilience across supply chains and infrastructure. NestX exists precisely because a resilient economy requires the right people to decide how this technology is used.
Nest Campus brings together leaders from six sectors driving a resilient economy.
-
Energy and industry transformation
-
AI and technology
-
Cities and infrastructure
-
supply chain
-
food, water and natural capital
-
risk and finance
Together, these sectors represent what Larry Fink called “the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetimes.” NestX brings AI and technology innovation layers to everything we do.
NestX attendees can expect a curated showcase of breakthrough AI-driven startups, facilitated one-on-one meetings between founders, investors, and corporate buyers, and high-level programming from global leaders in AI, finance, and industry.
