The NeuroTech Harbor program aims to take viable concepts based on established research to the spotlight, which increases potential for private capital to then enter and take them to production and the marketplace. Recently under this program, 20 teams are currently being funded.Yazdi is incredibly optimistic for what the future of the NeuroTech Harbor program may hold.
