flowbone SA provides an injectable “bone-seeding” gel to locally strengthen fragile bones. The gel promotes the body’s own mineral deposition, turning into strong, viable bone without foreign materials or interfering with bone vascularization. This minimally invasive procedure targets high-risk fracture areas using a cannula. Founded in July 2020 as an EPFL spin-off, their products are currently under development. They aim to help the elderly maintain independence and quality of life by preventing fragility fractures. Ulrike Kettenberger, the Co-Founder & CTO, participated in the program 2016.
