Join Brain Economy Events
Global Brain Economy Summit
September 22, 2026
Convened by NeuroCentury, Brain Capital Alliance, the Euro-Mediterranean Economists Association, the Davos Alzheimer’s Collaborative, the Global Brain Economy Initiative, and The Brain House
As artificial intelligence reshapes economies and societies, the brain economy offers a unifying framework for advancing the human capabilities that underpin long-term resilience, innovation, and prosperity. Strengthening brain health, cognitive welfare, and the conditions for human flourishing has never been more urgent — or more strategically important.
The Summit will convene policymakers, business leaders, scientists, and practitioners around the theme “The Human Advantage: Leading the Brain-Positive Transition”, focusing on the practical impact of the brain economy in transforming healthcare, the workplace, and individual cognitive welfare.
Brain Days at UNGA81
September 23-24, 2026
Convened by the European Brain Council
Structured around two interconnected pillars, Brain Days at UNGA81 will explore global collaboration in brain health research and innovation — including funding, science diplomacy and international partnerships — and the broader societal and policy dimensions of brain health, including brain capital, prevention, resilience and pathways towards greater recognition at United Nations level.
Building on discussions initiated in previous editions while looking firmly ahead, the event will aim not only to showcase progress, but to create a space for active discussion and catalyse concrete next steps for collective action.
