Membership Value and Benefits
NIO is a member driven organization. Members may be actively involved in shaping NIO's industry promotion strategy and public policy agenda which includes representation in Washington D.C. As important issues are identified NIO forms task forces to address the challenges such as the public policy committee working group on the National Neurotechnology Initiative.
Membership dollars ensure financial support for NIO's programs aimed at educating key policy makers and advocating for supportive public policies - funding, regulatory, reimbursement, as well as industry development events and media relations for the industry. Member benefits also include a growing number of exclusive discounts for NIO members on neurotech market research and conferences.
