The 2026 China Brain-Computer Interface Technology and Industry Integrated Innovation Conference, set to take place on May 10, 2026, in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, represents a landmark event in China’s BCI landscape, transitioning the field from technological breakthroughs to a thriving ecosystem. Under the theme “Enlightening the Brain-Computer Interface, Exploring the Future,” the conference is hosted by leading institutions including Nanjing University’s BCI Research Institute and the National Innovation Center for High-Performance Medical Devices, and will bring together nearly 30 academicians, over 60 clinical experts from top-tier hospitals, and representatives from more than 200 enterprises and 60 investment institutions. Focusing on five core pillars—technological breakthroughs, clinical translation, standards development, capital empowerment, and industrial clustering—the event will feature keynote speeches, roundtable forums, parallel sessions, and an innovation exhibition. Key highlights include the release of the 2026 BCI Industry Research Report, the establishment of three industrial ecosystem alliances (science and technology, medical, and capital), the launch of a national BCI innovation and entrepreneurship competition, and the presentation of four major awards recognizing outstanding young scientists, innovative products, enterprises, and doctoral research. With BCI now formally integrated into China’s future industry system, the conference serves as a premier platform for integrating government, academia, research, medicine, industry, and finance, propelling China’s BCI sector from lab to market and from isolated innovation to full-chain collaboration.
