ABOUT EWELINA KURTYS
Scientist-turned-entrepreneur with a PhD in neuroscience (+20 peer-reviewed papers). After academia, I transitioned into business development and technology commercialization, advising tech companies on sales, partnerships, and market strategy.
I founded Ekai Ltd to support innovation and scale in science-driven companies. My work spans advisory roles, go-to-market planning, and translating complex R&D into real-world impact. I also speak publicly on innovation, neuroscience, and the intersection of science and entrepreneurship.
Originally trained in biology and biomedical science, I expanded into engineering through client projects, gaining experience in signal processing and Python.
