The Frontier of Trauma Innovation

Trauma touches millions of lives, yet the tools we use to diagnose and treat it have changed slowly. That is starting to shift. From psychedelic-assisted therapy to AI-powered diagnostics, a new wave of research and entrepreneurship is challenging how we understand post-traumatic stress, and how we heal from it.

As part of Global Entrepreneurship Week 2026, Entrepreneurship on Tap brings researchers, clinicians and innovators out of the lab and onto the bar stool for an open, candid conversation about what’s working, what’s promising, and what still stands in the way.

On the agenda:

• Between psychedelics and psychotherapy
• Artificial intelligence as a reliable diagnostic tool
• Identifying the mechanisms behind PTSD and developing mechanism-based treatments
• What does it really take to turn an innovative idea into real-world impact?

Moderated by Dr. Yifat Reuveni, Head of Research & Innovation, NATAL
