PEP Health
The traditional practice of immediately cutting the umbilical cord after birth can pose risks to newborns, causing a dangerous drop in blood flow and oxygen levels. Concord Neonatal offers a solution by allowing babies to receive lifesaving care with the umbilical cord intact until they start breathing on their own. This innovation, aims to prevent birth complications and long-term disabilities, while keeping the baby close to the mother and maximizing the benefits of placental blood until the baby can breathe independently.

Persuasive addresses the challenge of identifying Stable Angina patients early on, crucial for preventing heart attacks. Currently, without a diagnostic test in general practitioner settings, many referrals to hospitals prove unnecessary. The solution is a simple blood test, leveraging an extracellular vesicle protein signature to distinguish SA patients from those with non-cardiac chest pain. This innovative approach promises to streamline patient management, saving lives and healthcare resources.

XtRNA Bio is developing a pioneering gene therapy to treat Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT) disease type 2D, leveraging tRNA supplementation therapies. Their patented treatment targets mutations in tRNA synthetases, offering a new therapeutic modality with vast potential for various diseases. They are raising €5M to develop a clinical candidate for CMT2D and expand their pipeline. CMT, a hereditary and heterogeneous disease, affects 1 in 2500 people worldwide, causing progressive muscle wasting, loss of sensation, and chronic pain, with no current cure.

Porous GmbH has developed an ultrasound technology that accurately diagnoses cortical bone health, addressing the limitations of traditional methods. Osteoporosis affects millions globally, leading to frequent and costly fractures. Current diagnostics often miss early-stage bone deterioration, but Porous GmbH’s patented algorithms allow ultrasound to measure bone quality at a microscopic level for a safer and more precise method for early detection of osteoporosis, also reducing healthcare costs.

Polynerve is a cutting-edge solution for repairing nerve injuries, offering a better alternative to traditional methods like autografting. Its unique design helps nerves grow in the right direction, reducing complications and surgical time. This absorbable option improves patient recovery and simplifies surgery for healthcare providers, making it a game-changer in nerve repair procedures.

Implant Preservation Devices has developed a handheld device to tackle a common problem after joint replacement surgeries prosthetic joint infections (PJI). This device applies heat to implants using induction, effectively targeting and eliminating bacteria that cause these infections. By reducing the risk of recurrent infections, it offers a quick, sterile, and convenient treatment option during surgery, potentially benefiting patients beyond just those undergoing joint replacements.

ImplantGuard is addressing the challenge of bacterial infections post-implant surgery, which affect millions of patients worldwide. Their solution involves coating implants with antimicrobials using a versatile and cost-effective process called plasma nitriding. This innovative coating technology offers a safer and more efficient alternative to existing implant coatings, potentially reducing the risk of infections and the need for costly surgical procedures.

The challenge with lung cancer lies in its late detection, often leading to unfortunate outcomes. Current screening methods like low-dose CT scans are costly and have radiation risks, while blood tests lack accuracy or are too expensive. Our solution offers a non-invasive blood test that detects lung cancer early with high sensitivity and specificity. This test, with its multi-protein panel, can identify even stage I cancer, improving survival rates and reducing unnecessary procedures.
