RECONNECT: spinal cord reconnection for people with spinal cord injuries
Project fact sheet
RECONNECT
Vertical: Personalised health
Project description
Spinal cord injuries (SCI) affect hundreds of thousands of people every year and there is no cure. RECONNECT proposes a disruptive solution: spinal implants that restore neural connection and lost motor and sensory functions, radically improving the quality of life of people affected by SCI. The technology is based on advanced materials developed to integrate with nerve tissue and enable functional reconnection of the spinal cord. Its competitive advantage lies in its acellular, biocompatible, definitive and clinically feasible approach, which overcomes the ethical and technical limitations of other therapies in development, with a high potential for scalability and clinical adoption.
Financial needs: €2M for pre-clinical development
Market
RECONNECT addresses target markets such as “SCI Implants”, “Nerve Repair and Regeneration”, and “SCI Treatment”. Its target clients are public and private health systems.
