- Full Description
-
ZED INTELLIGENCE SRL is a Romanian startup based in Brașov, specializing in neurocognitive engineering. The company delivers cutting-edge coaching services through a unique integration of cognitive science, human-computer interaction, and neuromodulation technologies such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). Its flagship platform, MindDojo, is designed to enhance mental resilience and performance through experiential coaching interventions, which include overnight sleep-based experiences and real-time neurocognitive monitoring.
ZED INTELLIGENCE has submitted a funding application under the Regional Programme – Centru Region, Priority 1 – A competitive region through innovation and dynamic enterprises for a smart economy, specifically under Specific Objectives 1.3 and 1.4, Action 1.4 – Growth of SMEs through investments, industrial modernization, technological advancement, and a sustainable regional economy, Intervention 1.4.2 – Scale-up for start-ups and microenterprises (Reference: PRC/108/PRC_P1/OP1). Subject to approval, the company estimates that development will begin in the summer of 2025 .
As part of this initiative, ZED INTELLIGENCE seeks international partners with expertise in creative writing, neuroaesthetics, sleep therapy, and immersive media to co-develop a series of science-based audio-visual narrative interventions. These will target REM and deep sleep stages using wearable and audio technologies, aiming to improve emotional regulation, focus, and cognitive readiness. Selected partners will collaborate on content design, prototyping, and user testing within ZED’s neurocoaching lab in Brașov. - Advantages and Innovations
