Yangfan Plan Brain Science Special Session: Exploring the Industrialization Path of Brain Science

With the continuous emergence of AI-driven innovations and ongoing advances in brain and cognitive sciences, frontier breakthroughs in areas such as brain disorders are poised to trigger substantial industrial transformation. In 2021, China officially launched the “Brain Science and Brain-Inspired Research” megaproject under the Science and Technology Innovation 2030 initiative, with a funding scale of tens of billions of yuan. For the first time, brain science was independently listed as a key frontier field in China’s 14th Five-Year Plan.

It is precisely due to the promising prospects of brain science and supportive policies that it has gained favor in the market. According to data from CB Insights, the global market size for brain science was $6.2 billion in 2020 and is projected to surpass $10 billion by 2024, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17% expected from 2020 to 2024, positioning it as the next industry poised to deliver disruptive impacts on human society.
