Cogniciti is a joint venture formed in 2009 through a partnership between Baycrest , one of the world’s leading cognitive science institutes, and MaRS , Canada’s premier innovation centre.

The company aims to commercialize evidence-based interventions to support brain health, a key mandate of the Baycrest Centre for Brain Fitness. The Centre was created in April 2008 with the generous support of the Ministry of Research and Innovation and private donors. Cogniciti leverages Baycrest cognitive research strengths and MaRS’ expertise in growing and scaling market-driven ventures.
