Five finalists from various countries pitched their innovations live on stage at sitem-insel in front of a big audience and an international jury. This year\u2019s winner, the U.S.-based start-up Alva Innovations, convinced the jury with its pioneering real-time filtration system for insulin pumps, designed to prevent infusion-set occlusions and improve therapy safety for people living with diabetes.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember663\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">Their technology has the potential to significantly enhance the reliability of insulin delivery systems and reduce treatment disruptions addressing one of the most frequent challenges in insulin pump therapy today. For the first time, the DCB expanded the traditional Start-Up Night into a full Day of Innovation, held on 5 November 2025 at the sitem-insel in Bern.
