Investing in our brain health and skills to build our resilience, creativity, adaptability
Brain Capital lies at the heart of Australia’s growth and prosperity. Investing in our brains not only enables individuals to lead purposeful lives but also fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration—all vital skills for navigating the complexities of the modern world. Prioritising brain health and brain skills across the full lifespan will yield invaluable dividends for health, education, justice, democracy, innovation and environmental stewardship. Building brain capital emerges as a systemic solution to foster inclusive economic prosperity, social wellness, and human thriving.
‘To support the flourishing of the global population in the age of polycrisis, we need a novel, person-centred and collective paradigm – a brain economy. The brain economy leverages insights from neuroscience to provide a novel way of centralising the human contribution to the economy, how the economy in turn shapes our lives and positive feedbacks between the two. The brain economy is primarily based on Brain Capital, an economic asset integrating brain health and brain skills, the social, emotional, and the diversity of cognitive brain resources of individuals and communities.’
– Harris Eyre
