DTS is partnering with DCB to once again host the DCB Open Innovation Challenge finalists at Diabetes Technology Meeting, where they can present their ideas in a dedicated session. The application period is now open and runs through April 30, 2025.
We are looking for solutions that can take diabetes management to the next level and ultimately make life better for people living with diabetes.
Whether you are a start-up, a healthcare professional, a researcher or a person with an idea or insight into how to improve life with diabetes, we want to hear from you. This year, the challenge will identify the Top 15 ideas, which will then be narrowed down to the Top 5 finalists through expert evaluation and mentoring.
What's in it for you? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

- A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to participate in our Bootcamp in Switzerland (September 8–11, 2025), featuring mentoring, co-learning, and pitch & media training
