Paradromics Inc., a brain implant rival to Elon Musk’s Neuralink Corp., is partnering with Saudi Arabia’s Neom to develop brain-computer interface therapies in the Middle East and North Africa.
The agreement will see Paradromics set up a new center for clinical research within Neom, the new city being developed on Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast. The company expects to start human clinical trials in the US late this year and could begin testing in the kingdom around the same time, Chief Executive Officer Matt Angle said in an interview with Bloomberg on Wednesday.
