How does NIO compliment existing trade associations?
NIO works with established trade associations to increase the awareness of neuroscience related issues within their agendas by improving the visibility of neurotechnology in general. NIO also works with existing trade associations to avoid duplication of efforts and leverage their activities. Unlike the very large trade associations which focus on broad themes, NIO focuses specifically on policy reforms that are necessary to create cost efficiencies, clarity and certainty in the CNS regulatory processes as well as neurotech company’s funding needs from both private and public sectors. NIO fills the needs of neurotech organizations that were going unmet. NIO serves as an umbrella organization for all the stakeholders involved in neurotechnology, unifying previously fragmented voices.
