Chen Tianqiao: It's difficult for internet companies to invest in Neuralink, so I encourage Chinese enterprises to directly compete.

Renowned investor Chen Tianqiao, who has long been absent from the public eye, recently made a rare statement regarding investment in brain-machine interfaces. He believes that the development of hardcore scientific and technological innovation fields such as brain-machine interfaces requires patient capital and should not follow the investment strategies of the past internet era. Since founding the Tianqiao Brain Science Research Institute, Chen Tianqiao has been focused on investing in the field of brain science. Four years ago, he started heavily investing in brain-machine interface technology and invested in Shanghai NeuroTiger Technology, which was one of the first companies in China to work on invasive brain-machine interfaces at the time. Chen Tianqiao pointed out that for scientists to start a business, they need not only financial support but also a systematic innovation ecosystem and technological platform. "We will build a world-class brain model, brain decoding algorithm, and data team, using the latest artificial intelligence technology to empower brain-machine interfaces, and encourage NeuroTiger Technology to compete directly with Neuralink, boldly exploring ultimate tasks such as visual reconstruction and memory download," he said.
