NY Neurotech Summit

Every summer, NeuroNYC convenes an invite-only evening bringing together leaders at the forefront of brain technology and the rapidly evolving neurotechnology industry. Two editions have taken place so far — July 2025 and July 2026.

As the field reaches a pivotal moment of scientific advancement and commercialization, the summit convenes leading voices across the four pillars supporting the neurotech ecosystem: companies commercializing neurotechnology, investors channeling capital into the field, clinicians implementing and shaping neurotechnology solutions, and research labs pioneering what comes next.

Each evening includes a brief NeuroNYC presentation followed by a panel discussion featuring leaders working across neurotechnology, artificial intelligence, research, commercialization, and investment.

NeuroNYC's 2nd Annual New York Neurotech Summer Summit took place on Tuesday, July 21, 2026 — an invite-only evening for leaders across brain technology.
