• OBI positions Ontario at the center of the global brain economy, partnering at World Economic Forum's Brain House and co-authoring G7 concept note that supported Canada's Brain Economy Declaration
  • The CfA collaborated with a number of national programs supporting the training of 190 next generation neuro data scientists via scholarship programs, summer school training opportunities, analytics initiatives, as well as data challenges.
  • Local impact drives global reach, as OBI's collaborative approach breaks down silos between research, clinical care, policy, and investment to establish Ontario as a leader in brain health innovation worldwide

The Ontario Brain Institute has proven that leading globally and acting locally aren't competing priorities – they're complementary strategies. By building world-class research capacity at home and taking those breakthroughs to the global stage, OBI has established Ontario as a global leader in brain health research, commercialization, and care.

Building on this recognition, the brain economy has further gained global traction as a strategic lens for policy and growth. Defined by the McKinsey Health Institute as "a resilient, thriving economic system, fueled by healthy brains to meet the growing societal demand for brain capital," the concept of brain economy positions brain health as both a public health priority and a key driver of economic strategy.
