Initiative overview
The National Center for Neurotechnology – Spain Neurotech is a new flagship initiative led by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades). Located at the Autonomous University of Madrid, the centre will combine cutting-edge research in neuroscience, brain science, and AI to develop novel technologies, treatments, and scientific breakthroughs.
Key objectives include:
- Advance interdisciplinary research by integrating neuroscience, AI, and brain science.
- Develop innovative tools and applications for health, cognition, and human–machine interaction.
- Strengthen Spain’s position as a European leader in neurotechnology and AI.
- Foster collaboration between academia, industry, and international research centres.
The signing of the agreement marks the formal establishment of the centre, which will serve as a national reference point for innovation in neurotechnology. It aligns with Spain’s broader strategy to invest in emerging technologies and strengthen the connection between science and industry.
Once operational, Spain Neurotech is expected to contribute to medical breakthroughs, new AI models inspired by the brain, and the training of highly skilled researchers in this rapidly evolving field.
