This conference will present the novel concept of ‘Brain Capital’ which puts a premium on cognitive skills and abilities in accomplishing socio-economic objectives. Building Brain Capital is fundamental for meeting modern societal challenges and driving innovation. The concept has been elaborated by the Neuroscience-inspired Policy Initiative launched by the OECD. Following its success, the Brain Capital Alliance has now been formed to continue this work toward impact. Given their scope, Brain Deals – large-scale and brain science-inspired policy strategies can harness advanced AI and boost the implementation of several UN sustainable development goals (SDGs) -- shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future -  at the national and global levels. The model of the Brain Deal was recently noted in a Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy brief here. The event will focus on how Brain Deals can support SDG implementation by 2030.
