“Cogno-tech” is the title of an accelerator working in the field of cognitive and neurosciences. This accelerator will create a space for startups to more quickly turn their ideas into products in the presence of mentors.

The human brain is a complex and unknown world. Despite many technological advances, we still don't know much about the mysteries of the brain. Therefore, research in this area is rapidly advancing.

However, startups with their ideas and creativity can speed up research in this area and help identify and discover these secrets by introducing innovative products.

Accelerators are one of the players in the innovation and technology ecosystem that can soar with the support of startups. While no accelerator has been active in the field of cognitive sciences, the first accelerator was opened last week in the presence of Sorena Sattari, the vice president for science and technology affairs.

“Cogno-tech” is the title of an accelerator working in the field of cognitive and neurosciences. This accelerator will create a space for startups to more quickly turn their ideas into products in the presence of mentors. In this ecosystem, the day-to-day issues of society are examined with a meticulous view of the field of cognitive science, and a technological product is designed for it.

This accelerator is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment for assessing and recording brain functions and electrical and magnetic stimulation of the brain, and startups can use them for their activity. The presence of leading specialists and therapists is also one of the features of being a consultant.

Holding workshops in the field of cognitive science and entrepreneurship is another advantage of being present in this ecosystem that facilitates working on ideas for startups. It also facilitates the growth of ideas with shared space.

The accelerator has been established with the support of the cognitive sciences and technologies development headquarter. Currently, several startups are developing their ideas in areas such as Autism and Alzheimer's. Autism, a type of developmental disorder, has so far involved many researchers around the world. Perhaps these startups can help people with the disease by their work and ideas.

This accelerator gathers the top teams and startups participating in a pre-acceleration period and receive training to get ready to enter investment programs. Then, their business plan is presented to the investor and they are on the path to developing their product market.
