INC 2025: Shaping the Next Chapter in Neurological Health
The 3rd Edition of the International Neurology Conference (INC 2025), held from June 20 to 22, 2025, at Village Hotel Changi, Singapore, brought together the global neurology community for a robust exchange of knowledge, innovation, and collaboration. Centered on the theme “Current Research in Brain Disorders and Neurology,” the conference provided a dynamic platform for neurologists, researchers, clinicians, and healthcare leaders to explore cutting-edge developments in neuroscience. With engaging keynotes, breakthrough research presentations, and interactive discussions, INC 2025 redefined the way neurological disorders are studied, treated, and understood in a rapidly evolving medical landscape.
More than a scientific gathering, INC 2025 was a catalyst for change, driving new partnerships, inspiring forward-thinking research, and setting the stage for impactful progress in global brain health. From advanced diagnostics to novel therapies and integrative care strategies, the conference illuminated a future where innovation meets empathy. As INC 2025 concluded, its influence extended far beyond Singapore, continuing to shape the trajectory of neurology in laboratories, clinics, and communities worldwide.
