Octane will host its second annual Neuro Tech Forum on March 26–27, 2026, in Newport Beach, positioning the organization as a central convener for investors and innovators in brain–computer interfaces, neuromodulation, and other neurotechnology fields. The event is designed to channel deal flow into Octane’s Southern California ecosystem by showcasing vetted startups to an audience of high-net-worth angels, family offices, venture firms, and strategic partners.
The two-day program will feature a keynote on building neurotech innovation ecosystems, multiple expert panels on digital health, BCI evolution, and collaborative development across diagnostics, therapeutics, and devices, as well as discussions on industry’s role in treating neurological and psychiatric disorders. Between panels, six neuroscience and neurovascular entrepreneurs will pitch live for capital and growth support, giving Octane direct visibility into emerging technologies and providing investors a curated pipeline of opportunities.
Octane is inviting companies advancing BCI, neuromodulation, and related neurotech solutions to apply for pitching slots, with selected firms gaining exposure to its investor network and potential strategic partners. By curating these presentations, Octane strengthens its position as a hub for MedTech and neurotech innovation, while potentially influencing capital allocation and partnership formation in this specialist segment.
The forum will be emceed by neurotechnology ecosystem consultant Jojo Platt, and includes contributions from senior clinicians and industry executives who will address themes such as rapid detection of neurological conditions, optimization of patient outcomes, and the competitive landscape of implantable and wearable BCI systems. Large-cap MedTech and pharma sponsors underscore institutional interest in the space and enhance the event’s draw for founders and investors.
Octane’s broader strategy is to accelerate innovation by connecting entrepreneurs with capital and industry expertise, using its forums as a primary vehicle to scale its network and impact in Southern California. With thousands engaged annually across its events, the Neuro Tech Forum extends Octane’s reach deeper into the high-growth neurotech market, potentially increasing follow-on financing, commercialization partnerships, and regional cluster development around advanced neurological care technologies.
