Frank Desiere, CEO of CorTec, on The Open Loop this week.

Had Frank Desiere, CEO of CorTec, on The Open Loop this week.

Their BCI can both read and stimulate the brain, and the stroke work is particularly interesting. They’ve now implanted three patients, including people who had their strokes years ago.

For stroke, they use it during the rehab period, then remove it, with the aim that the regained movement remains.

We also got into why they went batteryless, how the same platform could be used in epilepsy and depression and where Frank thinks all of this brain data eventually leads.

Have a watch/read if you’re following the therapeutic side of BCI.

Neurotech in Switzerland Market Map

Market map and taxonomy

The complete working map contains 51 names: 28 core Swiss neurotechnology companies, 19 adjacent companies and 4 borderline names.

The count is deliberately broader than just BCIs or neuromodulation. Core means direct neural recording, interpretation, stimulation, modulation, repair, restoration or specialist neurological measurement. Adjacent covers rehabilitation robotics, surgical technology, movement sensing and other businesses close enough to the nervous system that leaving them out would give a pretty incomplete picture. Borderline is exactly what it sounds like: companies I think are relevant to the market, but where the technology, use case or Swiss footprint sits just outside the tighter definition.

A couple of important caveats. Aleva Neurotherapeutics remains on the map because it is part of the Swiss neurotech story and got a directional DBS system all the way through CE marking and into the market, but the Lausanne court approved a composition agreement with its unsecured creditors in June 2024. Dandelion Science has a meaningful Geneva connection but a US-Swiss footprint rather than a clean Swiss headquarters story.

The map uses representative city clusters rather than trying to pin all fifty-one companies individually. The full taxonomy is below.

Core neurotech companies (28)
3Brain
ABILITY Neurotech
Aleva Neurotherapeutics
BEE Medic
Bottneuro
Braincredible
BrainQuant
BrainScape Medical
Comphya
dEEGtal
DeepPsy
FinalSpark
HBImed
IDUN Technologies
Infera Neuro
Luciole Medical
machineMD
MaxWell Biosystems
MindMaze
MYNERVA
NeuroGyn
Neurosoft Bioelectronics
Optohive
Positrigo
SaisiR
SensArs
Skaaltec
Xana, Smart Neurostimulation

Adjacent neurotech companies (19)
Altoida
Artiria Medical
Bearmind
Clee Medical
Dividat
Emovo Care
Gondola Medical Technologies
Hocoma
Intento
Lambda Health System
Magnes
MindMetrix
MYOLINK
Nanoflex Robotics
neurodAIgnostics
Reha Technology
Rhovica Neuroimaging
SurgeonsLab
TWIICE

Borderline (4)
Bewe, formerly Neuria
BRNLIT.AI
Connectome Health
Dandelion Science

Of the twenty-eight core names, five are enabling suppliers rather than clinical products, eight haven’t reached a person yet, fourteen have technology in humans in some form and six have products in clinical use. DeepPsy is already reimbursed through Swiss basic health insurance.

There is also a fairly obvious geographic pattern once everything is on one sheet. Geneva repeatedly leads back to Campus Biotech, the Wyss Center and HUG. Lausanne leads back to EPFL and CHUV. Zurich leads back to ETH. Bern and Basel add smaller specialist groups around diagnostics, surgery and stimulation.
You can get from Geneva to Zurich by train in less than three hours. In the US these would probably be separate ecosystems. In Switzerland they’re stops on the same train.

The full article goes into the companies, who is actually in humans, the Swiss investor landscape and why the country seems unusually good at getting difficult neuroscience through the awkward bit between a paper and a patient.

Neurotech in the UK

I write about all things Neurotech and this weeks its Neurotech in the Uk. A full map, shit loads of start ups, loads of amazing tech. The complete working map contains 74 active organisations: 45 core neurotechnology companies, 12 enabling businesses and 17 adjacent organisations. Galvani Bioelectronics is listed separately as a historical cautionary case and is not included in the active total. The list uses current principal UK operating bases where those are public, and every company name links to its official source.

PIEEG - open source research-grade EEG out of Scotland

Came across Ildar Rakhmatulin’s work recently and wanted to share it here. He started PiEEG as a personal project because he couldn’t find affordable EEG hardware, open sourced it, and it kind of grew from there.

Check it out if you’re into open source BCI or consumer-grade EEG hardware.

Neurotech in Israel: full market map and taxonomy

Follow-up to my Asia and Europe maps. 66 active Israeli neurotech companies mapped with the help of a few contacts I have over there.

Here's a graphic attempt to summarize whats going

https://preview.redd.it/uoci0yc5bffh1.png?width=1536&format=png&auto=webp&s=20ae30a7cadfdfb19a821aa38e6df46ea742c197

Of 44 direct companies I audited, 24 are mainly measuring or interpreting rather than stimulating. Hemispheric is building non-invasive brain-decoding foundation models, X-trodes makes conformal skin electrodes that capture EEG, EMG, ECG and EOG while people move, Wearable Devices runs a neural wrist interface, and Nuri Braintech works in both directions, reading brain activity and stimulating back to it focusing on PTSD. The CBO at Nuri helped me put all this together

The Open Loop, a neurotech podcast

I'm a headhunter who's worked only in neurotech for the last few years, and I got tired of not being able to find decent long-form conversations about this field. So I started recording my own.

It's called The Open Loop. I sit down with the people actually building neurotech, founders, engineers, clinicians, investors, and we talk properly about what they're doing and why it's hard. Brain-computer interfaces, neuromodulation, EEG, diagnostics, the money side, the regulatory side, all of it.

The thing I try to do differently: I'm not a scientist so I ask the obvious questions rather than the clever ones, and I make guests explain things in language a normal person can follow. If a conversation turns into jargon I stop it and ask them to say it again. Turns out that's useful, because most neurotech coverage is either press releases or papers, with not much in between.

New episodes go out regularly. If any of that sounds interesting:

And they go up on my substack to in written format as part of the free content: https://theneurotechnewsletter.substack.com/

Happy to take suggestions on who to get on. If there's someone in neurotech you've wanted to hear a real conversation with, tell me and I'll chase them.

Neurotech in Europe - Market Map

I posted my Neurotech in Asia in map last week and have been working on a European one too. Thought I had it mapped at 107...but found over 200.

The ones building implants:

INBRAIN Neuroelectronics (Spain) is working on a graphene interface that can both read and stimulate the brain. First-in-human already done in tumour surgery, FDA Breakthrough for Parkinson's.

CorTec (Germany) built the first German implantable BCI used in a human. Their stroke system is designed to come out once the rehab is done, not stay in forever, which I find genuinely interesting.

Coherence Neuro (UK) is going after brain cancer with SOMA, a coin-sized implant paired with a wearable. Cambridge roots, first-in-human in Melbourne.

Neurosoft Bioelectronics (Switzerland) is making soft, stretchable interfaces that sit on the surface of the brain, with human studies running on both sides of the Atlantic.

The ones you might not have heard of:

ABILITY Neurotech (Switzerland) is building an interface to restore movement. CereGate (Germany) is writing signals back into the nervous system through implants people already have. Eightsix Science (UK) is working on lab-grown brain tissue to repair damaged circuits. And on the non-invasive side, NeuroCONCISE (UK) and BirgerMind (Latvia) are building interfaces for people with severe motor impairment to communicate and control devices.

That's a slice of one category out of ten. The full map, every company and what it does, sorted by technology and by country, is in the article.

Scope notes

Brainclinics is part of the story but is not counted in the 219 because it is an independent Dutch non-profit research institute rather than a conventional company. Its work includes EEG datasets, TMS and precision psychiatry.

Five names from the first version were removed when the scope was tightened: Acurable, Sunrise, UroMems, Clinical Laserthermia Systems and Sensome. They are not included in the 219.

The inclusion rule is simple: the core product must measure, interpret, stimulate, interface with or restore the nervous system, or supply specialist infrastructure used to do that work. Adjacent and borderline names remain visible because they help readers see where reasonable people may draw the boundary differently.

Method and source notes

The future-facing section was checked against the Dutch government’s 6 July 2026 medtech announcement and NeurotechEU’s official alliance and NEURICOO pages.

Company statuses and milestones were checked against primary announcements, regulatory records and public filings from the previous eighteen months where available.

The main regulatory and clinical checks included Flow Neuroscience’s December 2025 FDA authorisation, INBRAIN’s 2025 first-in-human interim results, ONWARD’s FDA De Novo authorisation, Newronika’s FDA investigational-device exemption and the New England Journal of Medicine report on the former Pixium retinal implant. Neurosoft’s human studies, February 2026 Science Corp partnership and May 2026 financing were checked against Neurosoft, Science and the financing announcement.

Corporate checks covered GE HealthCare’s acquisition of icometrix, LivaNova’s corporate history and Galvani’s current status. Galvani’s status reflects both the live corporate record and direct industry knowledge, so it is marked as status-unclear rather than stated flatly.

The narrative also draws on my Open Loop interviews with Balder Onarheim of Plato Science, Frank Desiere of CorTec, Daniel Mansson of Flow Neuroscience, Ildar Rakhmatulin and Youssef El Abbassi of PiEEG, Laura Avonius of Audicin, George Harston of Brainomix and Anoop Antony of NeuroX. Additional taxonomy entries were surfaced in the project’s published company landscapes for epilepsy, sleep, mental health and neurodegeneration, then checked against current company materials where available.

The expanded taxonomy was checked again country by country in July 2026 using company websites, current owner pages, public records, the NeuroFounders map and corrections from readers. This remains an open working map and I welcome specific corrections.
