Congratulations to Cortex partner John Ralston and the team at Neursantys for their latest award, from mHUB. The Neurvesta technology promises to improve quality of life and rehabilitate those suffering from degenerative balance disorders. Part of the reason why we started the Cortex Foundry was to ensure clients like these get the opportunity to scale, and this is a great example. High five! 🙌
Congratulations to John Ralston, CEO and Founder of Neursantys, on their recent WIN at the AgeTech After Dark Pitch Challenge at the Longevity Venture Summit in San Francisco. Shout out to Neursantys Co-Founder, Josh Roper, and their entire team exhibiting at that event. Neursantys, an mHUB portfolio company, is a pioneer in developing non-invasive bioelectronic treatments for neuromotor conditions.

Celebrate World Industrial Design Day with Us! Join us for a special celebration of World Industrial Design Day at Cortex West on Thursday, June 27th, from 6:30 to 9:00 PM. Come mingle and share stories in the beautiful new studio as we embrace this year’s inspiring theme: Let’s Get Emotional! World Industrial Design Day (WIDD), observed annually on June 29th, honours the power of design in enhancing economic, social, cultural, and environmental development worldwide. Established in 2008, WIDD represents the first international day of observance created uniquely to highlight the merits of the industrial design profession and its impact on quality of life. As an open-source programme, WIDD engages the global design community under the banner of a different theme each year, encouraging the development of design-led events, activities, workshops, competitions and exhibits. This year, we celebrate the emotional connections that designers create through their work. In a world where every design, big or small, can evoke feelings, we recognize how designers’ emotional connections to their surroundings and to the communities they serve lead to better products, services, and experiences. Event Details: Date: Thursday, June 27th Time: 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM Location: Cortex West @ 1398 Queen St. West (entrance off the alley) Cost: Free for all Industrial Designers and ID enthusiasts RSVP: Please RSVP via link https://lnkd.in/gGpuKrth Interested in joining ACIDO?
