The 5th edition of the Brain Innovation Days will take place on 15-16 October 2025 at La Tricoterie in Brussels!

The Brain Innovation Days, led by EBC, originate from a collaboration between the scientific and business communities, uniting to highlight opportunities within the brain space. Researchers, clinicians, industry professionals, and other stakeholders worldwide are striving not only to deepen our understanding of the brain but also to translate this knowledge into innovative treatments, interventions, and tools to improve brain health. This event, along with its growing community, serves as a dynamic platform to enhance collaboration, facilitate knowledge sharing, drive business development, connect key stakeholders, attract investments, encourage dialogue, and showcase cutting-edge innovations and progress, particularly in Europe.

Building on the success of previous years, the 2025 edition will continue to feature two full days dedicated to high-level brain innovation, providing extensive networking opportunities for key stakeholders and experts in the field. Attendees can explore ground-breaking projects in the Innovation Hall, engage in insightful Brain Talks and panel discussions, and witness a pitch competition showcasing brain-related start-ups.

Focusing on ‘The Adaptive Brain in a Fast-Evolving World‘, the sessions will revolve around these four subthemes:

🚀 Brain Research Frontiers: Driving Europe’s Innovation Leadership

🚀 Brain Health Equity: Closing the Gap to Leave no One Behind

🚀 Youth Culture: Shaping Brain Health in the Modern World

🚀 Beyond Neuroscience: Reimagining the World Through a Brain Health Lens

Innovation Hall

The Innovation Hall is the place to be to showcase and discuss your ideas, breakthroughs, products and latest innovations with the high-level and diverse array of stakeholders attending the Brain Innovation Days. The main vein of the event venue, the Innovation Hall, will be where the discussion happens outside of plenary presentations — a spot in the space will be vital to ensure you are visible throughout the two days! 

Showcase your breakthrough in the Innovation Hall, where innovators connect with a high-level, multidisciplinary audience passionate about advancing brain research and solutions. This space is designed for dynamic interactions, making it the focal point for networking and dialogue beyond the plenary programme. Innovators gain direct access to leading researchers, clinicians, industry experts, investors, and policymakers – creating invaluable opportunities for feedback, networking, and collaboration. Innovators are asked to apply through this form and the Brain Innovation Days team will reach out after revising the application. A high table and a chair will be provided, as well as space for a roll-up or backdrop, if needed.

Applications are first come, first served and spots are filling up fast! Apply now before it’s too late, more information on the Brain Innovation Days website.
