Mental Growth Network

MGN is an ecosystem that brings together the key players in mental health and neuroscience — professionals, researchers, innovators, investors, sponsors, corporates, and public authorities. We support projects of all kinds, from medical and scientific to technological and pharmaceutical, guiding them from the first spark of an idea to real-world adoption within a transparent, EU-piloted framework. Our work ensures that promising solutions move beyond concepts and gain the validation, visibility, and collaboration they need to succeed.

At present, our focus is on building a strong European community that will generate both talent and projects in this space. We do this through free educational initiatives (audio, video, and open sessions), inclusive hackathons that spark innovation and bring teams together, and a business accelerator that helps founders deepen their expertise while preparing investor-ready propositions. Alongside this, our Adoption Hub ensures projects are thoroughly validated — medically and scientifically, legally and compliantly, and in terms of product–market fit — so that they are de-risked and investment-ready.

The long-term aim of MGN is to launch the number one European Union Fundraising Platform dedicated to mental health and neuroscience innovation. On this platform, EU-based startups will be able to present their projects and secure funding, while both EU and international companies, corporates, and sponsors will be able to open challenges, browse startup profiles, invest, or support projects. By combining the inclusive mission of an NGO with the efficiency of a commercial platform, MGN is creating a multi-level, practical, and collaborative space that accelerates communication, education, and innovation. This model will strengthen the EU ecosystem and extend its reach to Euro-Asian, LATAM, and eventually global levels — positioning Europe as a leader in mental health and neuroscience innovation.
