WeMind Awards 2026
A new era for innovation in brain health
The WeMind Awards celebrate their fourth edition, firmly established as one of the leading recognitions for innovation in mental health and personal autonomy.
This year, they take another step forward through a collaboration with the IMPULSA Awards of the Consortium of Health and Social Care of Catalonia (CSC), a partnership that expands the impact, visibility, and opportunities for transformative projects.
This collaboration gives rise to the “Boosting Brain Health – WeMind Awards” category, a platform designed to broaden the reach, attract outstanding talent, and increase the social impact of projects that improve people’s quality of life. The awards will recognize innovative initiatives across five strategic areas—care and support, longevity, digital transformation, new housing models, and social projects—that contribute to building a future with greater well-being, autonomy, and quality of life. With this new chapter, the WeMind Awards reaffirm their commitment to serving as a meeting point for talent, innovation, and collaboration, driving the transformation of mental health and neuroscience.
