Building Brain Capital

We are uniting leading private sector companies and institutions to optimize cognitive health for better business results and healthy longevity.

The Challenge

Thriving in a technological knowledge economy demands cognitive skills such as creativity, analytical thinking, focus and memory retention, but our workplaces and communities lack science-based solutions that build our brains and the bottom line.


Economic Brain Drain

Disengaged Employees

More than two-thirds of employees in the U.S. report they are not engaged or actively disengaged
