It was such an emotional moment! What we witnessed is beyond moving: the power of AI and technology to empower each one of us to live our dreams. This achievement was made possible by the groundbreaking innovation developed by Inclusive Brains. A startup ‘Made in Région Sud’ with core values that we share: groundbreaking innovation, unwavering will, and purpose! Nathalie LABRÉGÈRE was one of the first torchbearers of this relay and thousands of people cheered her and chanted her name in the streets of Marseille. What an amazing symbol and message to the world, especially for all people with disabilities and special needs. This world premiere is a testament to our region being a science and technology territory of excellence, and our efforts to foster innovation and ‘AI for good’. Tomorrow, we can imagine endless assistive possibilities for a more inclusive world thanks to artificial intelligence and neuroscience. Here, in Région Sud, everything is possible."

Declared Dr. Renaud MUSELIER, President of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur Region (Région Sud), Deputy President of Regions of France. 

Helping Nathalie LABRÉGÈRE and her twin brother Denis to achieve their dream gives even more meaning to the efforts that my co-founder Paul BARBASTE and I have been making over the past two years for Prometheus BCI to become a reality. The fact that this technological and inclusive premiere took place at home, in the streets of Marseille, thanks to Région Sud offering Nathalie and Denis this unique opportunity, makes it even more amazing to us. Our multimodal human-machine interfaces can adapt to the uniqueness of each person. In the case of Nathalie, for whom executing precise arm and hand movements is challenging, she controlled the arm exoskeleton thanks to our proprietary multimodal cognitive AI agents that processed and classified in real time her brainwaves, jaw movements, and the selected facial expressions she can voluntarily execute. AI gave her back a bit of autonomy"

Added Olivier OULLIER, co-founder of Inclusive Brains and Chairman of the Institute for Artificial Intelligence by Biotech Dental.

• Thanks to the partnership signed by Inclusive Brains and Allianz Trade, Prometheus the mental command algorithms will be made open access, and a free donation of arm exoskeletons will be made to non-for-profit organizations helping people with disabilities. 
• Prometheus BCI is one of the projects supported by the World Economic Forum Young Global Leaders’ Assistive Tech and AI for Inclusion Impact Initiative (AT4i).  
• On May 13, Inclusive Brains was one of the 10 startups selected by French Presidency to attend the Choose France summit, a meeting dedicated to the attractiveness of France, which took place at the Versailles Palace. 
• Inclusive Brains will give a keynote presentation and will demonstrate Prometheus BCI at the United Nations during its "AI for Good" summit at the end of May.
