Neo-Bionica was established in 2021 to meet a need in the Australian market. Despite Australia's deep expertise in the development of advanced MedTech and Neurotech devices, emerging Australian Neurotech innovators were frequently forced to go overseas to prototype and manufacture their devices. Neo-Bionica was established to meet this gap in the market and since its establishment, its expertise and services have been in high demand from not only local innovators but international clients. Given this demand, Neo-Bionica fast-tracked its plan to establish a permanent foothold in the US with Uli's appointment.
