XPANSE

Beyond Exponential

November 20-22 | Abu Dhabi

World’s First Visioning of the Future with Exponential Tech

XPANSE is a bold landmark initiative and a mission for the visioning of the future... Much more than a forum, it is an observatory and an activator of exponential technologies and deep science for the co-visioning of the next chapter for cities, citizens, industries and societies.

An exclusive global convening of knowledge stature, influence, and leadership,  XPANSE 2024 will bring together 2500 of the world's brightest minds, technology trailblazers, Nobel Laureates, industry leaders, CEOs, ministers, scientists, and internationally renowned thinkers to set the horizons of exponential technologies spanning quantum, genomics, exotic computing, embodied intelligence, Next-gen 2D matter, fusion energy, AGI, Brain-Machine interfaces, Future G and beyond.

A 365-day Ecosystem-Building Engine

Unlike any other event, XPANSE is a transformation in the model of traditional convening combining 3 prongs: a powerful agenda-shaping forum with the world’s most credible visionary voices, an experiential immersive design combining multi-media and sensory experiences, and a 365-day ecosystem-building engine to activate and hatch opportunities at the cross-section of industry, science, investment, creativity and policy.

From the creators of PUZZLE X, XPANSE is a strategic partnership between MATTER, ADNEC group and hosted by ADQ, the holding company based in Abu Dhabi, to enrich the international exponential technology landscape.
