Mark and his fiancée, human rights lawyer  Simone George, spoke at TED2018 in Vancouver about how to resolve the tension between acceptance and hope, something they had to try and figure out in the aftermath of Mark’s catastrophic spinal cord injury.

Amy Cuddy, whose TED talk about power posing earned her worldwide recognition and has over 47 million views, described Simone and Mark’s talk as “the most powerful, moving talk I have ever seen at TED” while TED curator Helen Walters described their talk as a “love letter to science”.

Mark Pollock and Jonjo Bright discuss the impact of walking in Ekso Bionics robotic legs on BBC television news.

We begin working with Microsoft on a series of data and cloud computing projects alongside students at Imperial College London and University College London.

Mark explains how he worked with UCLA’s Reggie Edgerton, the world’s leading authority on electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, to become the first person in the world with chronic complete paralysis to regain enough voluntary control to actively take steps in a robotic exoskeleton while having his spinal cord electrically stimulated.

After walking for the first time in 2012, Mark goes on to become the world’s leading test pilot of Ekso Bionics robotic legs. And, during the early years of walking, Mark works with the Ekso Bionics team to stress test components for the next generation Ekso GT.
