Revenue model

1. Equipment and Device Sales: Symbiotic Devices generates revenue primarily through the resale of neuroscience and neurophysiology equipment (amplifiers, EEG systems, stimulators, caps, electrodes, software) sourced from international manufacturing partners to research institutions, universities, and clinical facilities across Australia and New Zealand.
2. Workshop and Training Fees: The company generates revenue from hosting paid educational workshops and training sessions on neuroscience equipment usage, data analysis, and research methodologies. Fee structures range from AU$75 to AU$348 per session depending on the event type and registration tier.
3. Conference Sponsorship and Exhibition: Symbiotic Devices generates revenue through conference sponsorship, booth exhibition at scientific meetings, and gold sponsorship of brain stimulation meetings, leveraging these events for lead generation and brand positioning.

• Compumedics: Australia-headquartered neurodiagnostic equipment manufacturer with its own direct sales force and service infrastructure. Comparable as a neurodiagnostic player based in the same geography, competing for hospital and clinical neurophysiology accounts that Symbiotic also serves via Cadwell.
• Neuroscan (Compumedics Neuroscan): Long-established manufacturer of EEG/ERP research systems. Comparable to Symbiotic's research-focused EEG portfolio and to the multimodal neuroscience research customers it serves in AU/NZ.
• Brain Products: Germany-based manufacturer of EEG amplifiers, electrode systems and analysis software. Symbiotic is Brain Products' ANZ partner; Brain Products is comparable as the leading global neuroscience hardware vendor whose distribution choice shapes Symbiotic's positioning in research labs.
• Cadwell: US-based manufacturer of EEG, EMG/NCS, IONM and neurodiagnostic systems. Symbiotic Devices is Cadwell's ANZ distributor; Cadwell is comparable both as a competitor (with potential direct sales) and as a strategic supplier that defines much of Symbiotic's clinical offering.

Direct peers

• Rogue Research: Canadian developer and supplier of neuronavigation and brain stimulation products (BrainSight TMS Neuronavigation). Comparable to Symbiotic as a specialist neurotech supplier in the TMS/neuromodulation category, with overlapping customer base in research institutions.
• Brainbox: UK-based specialist distributor of EEG, BCI, and neuroscience research equipment with a comparable model of curating multimodal kits and providing training. Highly comparable to Symbiotic Devices' portfolio-and-integration approach, though focused on UK/Europe.
• ANT Neuro: Specialist distributor and manufacturer of EEG, MEG and TMS solutions with a global channel network. Closely comparable to Symbiotic Devices as a neuroscience equipment specialist serving research and clinical customers, though operating across multiple continents including APAC.
• NIRx: Manufacturer and distributor of fNIRS neuroimaging systems with global academic and clinical reach. Directly comparable to Symbiotic in the fNIRS research segment, both as an upstream partner and as a competing channel for multimodal neuroimaging sales.
