I am using Xpedition PCB design software from Siemens in which I need to add two connectors for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4002008).
I found KiCad project CM4IO under the following link.
https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/cm4io/CM4IO-KiCAD.zip
How can I export the schematic symbol and footprint from KiCad project which I can add in Xpedition PCB design software.
Schematic Editor / File / Export / Symbols to New Library is one method.Symbol Editor and then save a single symbol to a library from there. I haven’t got the foggiest about what that xpedition software is, or how it interacts with KiCad.

No, KiCad doesn’t natively export to other formats for other EDA software packages, at least for the time being.
There are at least two practical reasons for that.
First, most commercial EDA file formats are closed, i.e. secret. It’s very difficult and time consuming to reverse engineer such a format. (This is a problem for all kinds of software, not just KiCad or EDA.)
Second, the development resources must be focused into areas which are the most important for KiCad project. The resources …
This is relevant for libraries, too.
