N Stands for Neurotech Company - 65 of Them

Posted by Zack Lynch

NeuroInsights is nearly finished with the 2006 update of The Neurotechnology Industry Report. Along with new information on sector revenues, venture capital activity, clinical trial information, etc., we have included nearly 100 new neurotech companies this year. I was a bit surprised at how many companies start with 'N' and even more so, how many begin with 'neuro'. While I am nearly positive that this is the most comprehensive list of neurotech companies in existance, let me know if you know of any that I may have missed.

I've added links for EVERY company so you can explore the range of companies who are developing the next generation of treatments for neurological and psychiatric illnesses like Alzheimer’s, addiction, anxiety, depression, epilepsy, hearing loss, insomnia, multiple sclerosis, pain, Parkinson’s, schizophrenia, stroke, vision loss and other brain-related illnesses.

It would be nice to see a more formal list of these companies directly from NeuroInsights. Scientific, public and investor awareness comes from knowing what's out there. This list is a great first step to explore the N-companies but I would love to see something more comprehensive, perhaps in pdf and double-checked for its range-depth by all NeuroInsights gurus.
