Dr. Fernando De La Peña Llaca Biography
Dr. Fernando De La Peña Llaca is a NASA-award-winning futurist, inventor, author, and technology entrepreneur known for transforming what was once considered a nonexistent or science-fiction-level capability into operational technology in space, and then commercializing it for real-world use on Earth.
As CEO and President of Aexa Aerospace and Founder of Aexa Tech, Dr. De La Peña led the development and deployment of holographic communication technology that helped make the first off-planet holoportation experience aboard the International Space Station possible. What began as an ambitious vision, placing live human presence into orbit through holographic technology, became an operational space capability validated with NASA.
Today, he is taking that same space-proven foundation into commercial markets through HoloConnect AI, a holographic artificial intelligence platform designed for airports, hospitals, defense, enterprise, public infrastructure, and mission-critical environments. His work represents a rare full-cycle innovation story: imagining a future technology, proving it in space, and turning it into a deployable commercial platform on Earth.
