To make advanced bionic and neural interface technology accessible to amputees and industrial users, breaking a market that has been monopolized, overpriced, and under-innovated for too long.

To build a world where humans and technology exist as one, transcending physical limitations through robotics, bionics, and neural interfaces that give people back what they lost and extend what they never had.

1) Manar Harakeh wanted to build a bionic hand that would restore physical independence for amputees, and discovered that an entire industry had been stagnant for decades because of monopolization, overregulation, and a lack of genuine innovation.

2) When the Beirut explosion, COVID, and the global supply chain crisis made foreign components impossible to source, Adstrum built its own sensors from scratch and discovered the quality was industry-level, opening a path nobody had planned for.

3) The shift to a digital world meant that existing bionic hands, designed mostly for basic pick-and-place functions, were leaving amputees unable to use computers or navigate the increasingly technology-dependent tasks of daily life. Adstrum built for that reality.

1) The Gecko Hand and its Neurex system, including the Octosense 24-electrode sensor array, embedded AI processor, and mobile app, are at MVP level and currently on the regulatory path toward beta testing with users in European rehabilitation centers.

2) US and European patents have been filed and are being finalized, protecting the novel technology Adstrum developed.

3) The company is resident at Station F in Paris under the HEC Paris incubator, won the Prix Entrepreneur at ESA HEC, has been named a DeepTech Pioneer by Hello Tomorrow twice, and won the United Nations Business Innovation Competition in 2023.
