About KonteX
Founded in 2019, KONTEX represents an innovative business model in the field of neurotechnology. The company was
established with a clear vision: to develop solutions that are not only technologically advanced but also pragmatically
valuable. Our founder, KC Kong, brings a wealth of experience to the table, having co-founded NeuroNexus Technologies,
known for its work in bioMEMS and neural interfaces. Mr. Kong’s educational journey includes engineering degrees from
the University of Michigan and MBA degrees from Columbia University and London Business School, equipping him with a
diverse skill set that combines technical expertise with business strategy.
Mr. Kong’s role at NeuroNexus was instrumental in its growth from a university project to a recognized entity in the
neurotechnology space. This experience, including collaborations with established companies like Integer, Philips
Research, and Medtronics, has provided Mr. Kong with a deep understanding of the industry’s needs.
KONTEX is strategically headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan, an area renowned for its expertise in electronics and
semiconductors. This geographical advantage is complemented by Mr. Kong’s extensive network and insights in
neurotechnology. Our team comprises seasoned professionals from a range of disciplines, including telecommunications,
medical instruments, PC ODM/OEM, and semiconductor/packaging, each bringing their own specialized knowledge to our
innovative projects.
Our initial product offerings reflect our commitment to quality and innovation, designed to support the neuroscience
research community effectively. KONTEX is also focused on expanding the application of our technologies to clinical
settings, aiming to make meaningful contributions to both research and healthcare.
We at KONTEX value collaboration and invite researchers and innovators to join us in developing and refining technologies
for the neurotechnology field. Our team, adept in design and manufacturing, along with our local partners in semiconductor
as well as medical device manufacturing, are here to support the journey from concept to reality. Through collaborative
efforts, we strive to blend pioneering research with practical application, steadily advancing the field of neurotechnology.
About X and logo
Anyone new to our product and technology might initially see a resemblance between our logo and that of X (formally
Twitter). It's worth noting, however, that our logo was originally designed in 2020, predating any such comparison. This
design was inspired by the role of our technology as a bridge linking the biological, analog world with the digital realm.
Imagine various physiological signals coursing through KONTEX from left to right, transitioning from analog to digital
formats. This concept is visually represented in our logo, where the design elements on the left, depicted with round
and circular shapes, evolve into square and rectangular shapes on the right. The letter 'X' in KONTEX was chosen to
represent our dedication to excellence and superiority in our field, symbolizing a leap above and beyond the
conventional, much like the 'X' often denotes a mark of distinction or a higher level of performance.
