3 TECNALIA INSIRING BUSINESS WHERE NEUROENGINEERING BRIDGES BODY AND MIND. WE TRANSFORM TECHNOLOGY INTO VALUE, WEALTH AND FUTURE WE UNDERSTAND NEUROENGINEERING AS A DISCILINE THAT USES ENGINEERING METHODS TO SUORT, IMROVE OR REAIR THE NEURAL SYSTEM. COMENSATE, ACCELERATE, RECOVER AND REHABILITATE TO IMROVE EOLE S LIVES. Under this premise, we are developing advanced medical devices to treat neurological diseases to enable the elderly and disabled as well as the chronically ill or injured persons to compensate or accelerate the recovery of their lost functions (such as mobility) and facilitate personal autonomy while improving their quality of life. We strive to provide healthcare professionals with the best clinical instruments to enable them to improve the assessment and rehabilitation process; for businesses to improve competitiveness in the healthcare market or diversify their offer to include new health realms. We are committed to the creation of an innovative healthcare industry with global presence, meeting both people s needs and market requirements, acting as leverage for our industries competitiveness and enabling access to a sophisticated and high value sector. Did you know? 600 million people need rehabilitation, but only one third receives it. Access to advanced rehabilitation technologies is still quite limited despite the fact that it helps reduce healthcare system costs and greatly improves the therapy results. Neurological disorders affect millions of people around the world and according to WHO, cardiovascular disease, epilepsy, dementia, Alzheimer s disease, obesity or sleeping disorders have the highest prevalence. A compound annual growth rate of 20% has been estimated for the advanced rehabilitation device market. According to the Wintergreen Research report, the rehabilitation robotics, active prostheses and exoskeletons market is expected to increase from $43.3 million (2014) to $1.8 billion by / 4 / 5

4 TECNALIA INSIRING BUSINESS WE DEVELO ADVANCED MEDICAL DEVICES FOR THE TREATMENT OF NEUROLOGICAL DISEASES OUR ACTIVITY FOCUSES ON THE DEVELOMENT OF: New devices for the rehabilitation of motor functions affected by neurological disorders. WE OFFER OUR EXERTISE IN: Neuroprotheses capable of restoring or modulating functions (sensory, motor, cognitive) in persons affected by neural pathologies. Biomechanics and human motor control Electrotherapy (functional electrical stimulation) Rehabilitation systems through implantable devices and brain-machine interfaces applying neuroengineering. Wearable robotics Clinical aspects in neurorehabilitation EMG / EEG technology Wearable biofeedback systems (vital signs / physiological signals) Cognitive aspects of rehabilitation Quantitative assessment of function, activity and participation rostheses and orthopaedic devices for rehabilitation Assessment: Biomarkers and haptic biofeedback Design, organisation, co-ordination and management of clinical trials in the field of (non-invasive and implantable) neural interfaces TO DEVELO: Rehabilitation robots and orthoses Sensor-based rehabilitation Virtual rehabilitation Tele-rehabilitation Implantable devices Brain-machine Interfaces (BMI) Neuroprostheses / 6 / 7

5 TECNALIA INSIRING BUSINESS A RESEARCH EXCELLENCE TEAM TECNALIA researchers are our greatest asset, and their passion is our driving force. Some of the leaders of our neuroengineering team are: Our Neuroengineering Team has achieved high levels of excellence with international recognition in certain technologies. 150 high impact publications 13 awards and recognitions 80 International Conferences (session or conference organizers) Dr. Thierry Keller _ Dr. Ander Ramos _ Dr. Joseph McIntyre _ 20 active patent families Three New Technology-Based Companies were created as a result of the activity in this field Director of the Neurorehabilitation department and resident of the Functional Electrical Stimulation Society (IFESS) has developed various neuroprostheses that help improve the walking and grasp functions in physically impaired subjects. Bio-medical engineer and hd in neuroscience leading neurotechnology and neural interfaces work backed by his international background and several international awards Having studied Engineering, Biology and Neuroscience at Caltech and MIT, has made a career of the interface between human physiology and engineering, helping to build bridges between these two disciplines.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGICAL SERVICES _ YOUR ROJECT INVESTMENT OORTUNITIES Development of technological assets ready to generate new business. R&D AND INNOVATION ROJECTS TECNALIA R&D and innovation projects for the development of new products and processes or for the improvement of existing ones. SCIENTIFIC-TECHNOLOGICAL CHALLENGES Basic Research Applied Research Experimental Development FROM SCIENCE MISSION We transform technology into GD TO MARKET We transform technology into wealth to obtain beneficial visible results for companies, society, our environment and in short, for people. ADVANCED MANUFACTURING New insights for the Industry and Factory of the Future which will be smart and connected, automated and cognitive, flexible as well as sustainable, social and collaborative. DIGITAL AND HYERCONNECTED WORLD We continue to evolve towards an increasingly connected and interactive world. We are working in this context to give due response to the challenges of the Digital Economy and Cyber-hysical Systems. LOW-CARBON ENERGY Clean technologies and renewable energy play a key role in advancing towards a more sustainable and efficient low-carbon society. URBAN HABITAT We are committed to smart places and cities, because we believe in their potential for progress, their innovation catalyst role and their ability to become an economic development driver. HEALTH & AGEING Technology can play a key role in improving the quality of life of many people with physical disabilities or health problems. We are committed to developing new devices, systems and products that encourage business activity in this sector. CLIMATE CHANGE AND SHORTAGE OF RESOURCES Climate change impacts are already a reality. We need to implement solutions and actions to minimise their effects: valorisation of waste and critical materials, emission reduction, circular economy, bioeconomy, etc. / 12 / 13
