Neuro.io Plans Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana, Operations

06/30/2025
Neuro.io, powered by global neurotechnology company MindMaze AI, plans to establish operations in Houma, Louisiana. The $100 million project is expected to create more than 1,100 jobs in Terrebonne Parish.

The company’s new innovation campus will focus on advancing large-scale AI applications and brain technology.

“We’re thrilled to build the first BrainHUB in Louisiana,” Neuro.io and MindMaze founder Dr. Tej Tadi said. “The alignment of progressive leadership, scalable infrastructure, and deep-rooted community vision makes Terrebonne Parish an ideal launchpad. This initiative isn’t just about advancing technology—it’s about creating a truly intelligent, human-centered future where innovation and purpose are deeply connected.”

To support the project Louisiana Economic Development (LED) offered an incentive package including the comprehensive workforce development solutions of LED FastStart. It also includes a $10 million performance-based grant for infrastructure and facility improvements to be received upon completion of payroll and employment targets. The company is expected to participate in the state’s Industrial Tax Exemption and Quality Jobs programs.

“This significant investment in the Bayou Region demonstrates how innovation not only drives economic growth, but can also elevate our communities,” LED Secretary Susan B. Bourgeois noted. “By integrating cutting-edge technology and processes, this project strengthens and diversifies two of the state’s priority sectors and positions Louisiana at the forefront of AI development and application.”

Neuro.io leverages over a decade of research and development in neuroscience, biosensing, engineering, and artificial intelligence to redefine how people recover, learn, and interact with technology.

“The strength of the Bayou Region has always come from its ability to adapt and lead through change,” added COLAB President and CEO Christy Zeringue. “Our industries have grown because of bold ideas, innovation and a hardworking spirit, and we are now applying that same drive to the fields of technology and healthcare. MindMaze’s expansion here is a strong sign of trust in our vision and our capacity for innovation and growth. This moment represents real progress for our economy and a clear signal that the Bayou Region is ready to lead in what comes next.”

“MindMaze choosing Houma for its new campus is a strong vote of confidence in Terrebonne Parish,” said Terrebonne Economic Development Authority CEO Cohen Guidry. “This investment brings advanced medical technology and neuro wellness initiatives into the heart of our community and opens the door to high quality jobs and long term growth. It reinforces what we have known all along. Terrebonne is not only open to innovation but fully prepared to support it with the infrastructure, partnerships and workforce needed to succeed.”
