There is no mistaking the progress: 2007 was an excellent year for the Neurotechnology Industry Organization! Our public policy agenda and public relations efforts made significant headway throughout the year and we look to build on this momentum in 2008.

Since our founding just sixteen months ago, over 60 organizations have joined our mission to accelerate the development of treatments for the brain and nervous system. As the only trade association representing companies involved in neuroscience (drugs, devices and diagnostics), brain research centers and patient advocacy groups, NIO is quickly becoming a powerful agent for change.

NIO's primary purpose is to increase awareness of neurotechnologies, reduce barriers to innovation, and support industry growth. With this in mind, I'd like to share with you some of our key activities from 2007, NIO's first full year in operation, and preview what's to come in 2008.

Read Full Review and Look Forward on NIO's website here. If you ever wonder why my blogging has slowed down it is because I'm spending nearly all my time on these projects.
