About the BrainTech Alliance
If it takes a village to raise a child, it takes an ecosystem to scale a DeepTech startup. The BrainTech Alliance brings together visionary investors, the best academic researchers, and ambitious entrepreneurs to help innovation go from the Lab to the World.

Our guiding principles
We believe that understanding the human brain is one of Humanity’s greatest challenges. In this pursuit, we aim to drive meaningful advancements in education, mental health, and medical science. Our mission is to translate scientific discoveries into actionable innovations that enhance the diagnosis, treatment, and management of neurological and psychiatric conditions.
We are committed to those who rely on these innovations—patients, families, caregivers, doctors, medical professionals, scientists, and educators. We owe it to our communities to develop solutions that are not only cutting-edge but also practical, accessible, and sustainable. This means ensuring that our technologies are reliable, easy to use, and scalable. It also means establishing sound business models that reinvest in the next generation of innovation, creating a continuous cycle of progress.
As investors, sponsors, and industry leaders, we recognize that sustainable success requires balancing impact with return on investment—whether monetary or societal. We believe that measurable improvements in brain health and well-being define success as much as financial returns.
We acknowledge that science is experimental and that true innovation comes with risk. We embrace these risks and the lessons they bring, fostering a culture of resilience, adaptability, and shared learning. We also recognize the fragility of human life and commit to supporting one another in times of needs. Only through mutual understanding, benevolence, and collaboration can we build a thriving, inclusive, and enduring ecosystem.
At the heart of innovation is community. It takes an ecosystem to raise a startup—and through collective effort, we will transform brain science into real-world impact.

Our raison d’être
In 2013, the European Union launched the Humain Brain Project, and the United States launched the BRAIN Initiative. These efforts were followed by Japan's MINDS program in 2014, and similar initiatives in South Korea, China, and Australia in 2016.
As the scientific advancements from these projects continue to disseminate, we must ensure they translate into real-world innovations that benefit society.We need broad adoption by patients, seamless integration into healthcare systems, and a virtuous cycle where economic gains are reinvested into new discoveries to drive sustained progress.
In 2025, we launched the Brain Tech Alliance to accelerate the translation of science into impact. Our mission is to create a thriving ecosystem that bridges the gap between academia and industry. We support researchers in moving their discoveries from universities to startups, assist startups in securing funding, provide entrepreneurs with opportunities pilot their innovation, and foster collaboration among scientist, investors, and stakeholders. Additionally, we work to raise awareness about the importance of brain health and the urgent need for innovation in this space.
Achieving these goals requires greater investment, stronger commitments, and increased visibility for brain technology. We need more funding, more dedicated champions, and a united effort to drive transformative progress for the betterment of humanity.
