Kurage: European Neuroprosthetics for Strategic Autonomy and Human Enhancement

About this report

Kurage is a young European deep-tech venture turning cutting-edge neurology and artificial intelligence into life-changing outcomes. Born as a spin-off from France’s École Normale Supérieure (ENS) de Lyon and CNRS, the company tackles a challenge once confined to science fiction: restoring real athletic movement to people with paralysis.

Its founding was inspired by a paralyzed scientist-cyclist determined to overcome his own physical limitations . Using an AI-driven neuroprosthetic system, Kurage enables paralyzed limbs to pedal bikes, row, and even take steps again.
