AXELERA Technologies Expands Its Reach Through Immersive Tech and Strategic Industry Connections
At AXELERA Technologies, innovation is more than a buzzword—it’s the core of everything we do. As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and proud member of the UCF Business Incubator Program, we’re excited to share how our recent participation in the XR + AI in Education & Workforce Development event at Tech Grove has helped us take another big leap forward.
This wasn’t just another industry meetup. Held at the state-of-the-art Tech Grove facility in Orlando, this event brought together some of the brightest minds across defense, education, healthcare, and immersive technology to discuss the powerful ways XR (Extended Reality) and AI are reshaping how we train, treat, and protect.
Empowered by the UCF Business Incubator
Let’s be clear—our growth isn’t happening in a vacuum. The UCF Business Incubator – Kissimmee has played a vital role in helping us develop our 3D-4X Joystick Omnidirectional Control, scale our business, and gain access to incredible opportunities like this one.
Being part of this incubator means more than just having an office. It means having access to resources, mentorship, and introductions to decision-makers who are actively shaping the future of technology and national security.
“It’s not just a space—it’s a launchpad,” said our founder and CEO, Axel Lopez. “Thanks to UCF, we’ve been able to engage with defense leaders, educators, and tech pioneers who are looking for real solutions—and we’re delivering.”
Key Takeaways from XR + AI in Education & Workforce Development
This event was packed with forward-thinking discussions and hands-on experiences. Here are just a few standout moments:
🔹 XR + AI in Education
We explored how immersive tech is being used to train students, technicians, and future leaders—turning complex subjects into interactive, hands-on experiences.
🔹 Healthcare Applications
XR is proving to be a game-changer for simulation-based medical training and even patient care. Our technology has the potential to integrate seamlessly into these evolving solutions.
🔹 Defense & Aerospace
From mission planning to real-time simulation, immersive tools are reshaping how military personnel prepare and perform. That’s where our 3D-4X Joystick enters the spotlight—with one-hand control and spatial precision ideal for high-stakes simulation environments.
🔹 Public Policy & Innovation Ecosystems
Leaders like Elizabeth Hyman (CEO, XR Association) and Carol Ann Dykes Logue (Director, Tech Grove) spoke passionately about national legislation and regional ecosystems that are accelerating immersive tech adoption across sectors.
Collaboration in Action
One of the highlights of the day? The “Idea Rain” roundtable workshops, where we teamed up with others to brainstorm real-world applications for XR and AI. These sessions weren’t just about theory—they were about building practical, scalable solutions.
The event also included tech exhibits, career fairs, and university collaborations, all pointing to one big idea: immersive tech is no longer just the future—it’s happening now. And startups like ours are leading the charge.
“This experience confirmed that our joystick isn’t just for pilots—it’s for anyone navigating immersive environments,” said our CTO, Alejandro Madrid.
Looking Ahead
With new partnerships forming and deeper integration into immersive applications, AXELERA Technologies is poised for even greater impact in 2025. Whether it’s in defense simulation, eVTOL navigation, or medical robotics, our joystick technology is proving to be a versatile, future-ready solution.
And none of this would be possible without the support and vision of the UCF Incubator Program—a true driver of entrepreneurial success in Central Florida.
