"The Neurotechnology Industry Organization is first and only trade group that advocates on behalf of companies involved neurotechnology.

Neurotechnology is used to understand and influence the brain and nervous system for the purposes of improving health, education, and information technology.

Since 2006, over 100 organizations have joined us in our mission to accelerate neurotechnology research, development and commercialization, including neuroscience companies, brain research institutes, and patient advocacy groups across the spectrum of neurological disease, psychiatric illnesses and nervous system injuries.
