Envisioning an Economy Built on Human Capability.

AI is fundamentally reshaping the systems of human life. At the same time, distinctly human skills like creativity, judgement, and adaptability have never been more valuable.

Investing in those skills means investing in the human brain as core infrastructure to the economy of the future.

Brains are infrastructure.

Healthy, skilled brains are our most vital resource to adapt to our changing world. By investing in the brain as infrastructure, we can ensure people stay resilient, create value, and work together to build successful organizations and communities.

That means investing in programs, initiatives, and activities that build brain capital — the combination of brain health and brain skills.

The Global Brain Economy Initiative is an organizing force to build the world’s brain capital.

GBEI connects and champions the brain economy movement – the institutions and leaders who see healthy, skilled human minds as the most important resource of the 21st century. Together with experts and collaborators, GBEI builds the science, standards, and coalitions needed to make brain capital a global economic priority.

Alongside key strategic partners, GBEI has launched the Nature Medicine Commission on Brain Health for Economic Resilience, the Global Brain Capital Index, and the California Brain Economy Initiative (CBEI) — a collaborative initiative to align California’s institutions to connect, compound, and inform brain economy activities.

Human+Tech Week advances this movement across health, work, and cities.

Human+Tech Week positions human capability as the infrastructure for flourishing societies.
