WHAT WE DO

About the Hub

This Hub follows on from the success of the OECD Neuroscience-inspired Policy Initiative (NIPI) and the Brain Capital Alliance. This programme has coined and is leading the brain economy, also known as the brain-positive economic transformation, to move humanity from a brain-unhealthy or brain-negative state to a brain-healthy or brain-positive one. The brain economy must galvanize public, private, and philanthropic actors working across sectors and the world.

“Brain Capital produces the best explanations I’ve seen of the very major problem of so many siloed, artificially isolated brain-based issues.”
