Excited to be going to Brussels and discuss our work on the Texas and UTMB-Brain Economy and how this can be helpful to Europe and @EU_Brain Council. It has never been more relevant to invest into the brain and mental health of humans. This is the best way to be ready for AI. @utmbhealth

At the World Economic Forum (@wef) in Davos today, UTMB unveiled the Global Brain Economy Initiative, an effort to place brain health and brain skills at the center of global economic strategy in the age of AI. As technology transforms work and populations age, brain capital, the combination of cognitive health, adaptability, creativity, and resilience has become essential infrastructure for long-term growth and societal well-being. Through GBEI, UTMB and partners, including @RiceUniversity and the @DavosAlzheimers Collaborative, are aligning science, policy, and investment to move the brain economy from concept to action—strengthening workforces, improving lives, and shaping a more resilient global future. utmb.us/f0w

Proud to represent @utmbhealth as we become the first organization in the world to make building brain capital a core strategic priority, across research, care, community, innovation and our workforce. As AI accelerates and populations age, investing in brain health and human skills is essential infrastructure for the future. This work builds on the bold vision of Texas leaders and initiatives like DPRIT—and positions UTMB to help future-proof health, talent, and opportunity for generations to come. Grateful to engage with global leaders @wef this week in Davos as we advance the brain economy worldwide. Read more at utmb.us/f0l.
