📢 February in Review – Conversations, Cakes & Cameras! February may be the shortest month, but we packed it with warmth, games, and a little Hollywood magic at Sitem StartUp Club. From fireside s’mores to healthcare dilemmas and behind-the-scenes filming, here’s how we made the most of the month. ❄️ 🔥 Winter Wonderland – February tried to keep us inside, but we had other plans. With steaming cider, lots of s’mores, and warm fire, we turned a cold evening into a cozy gathering. A perfect send-off to winter—because let’s be honest, spring can’t come fast enough! 🤖 MedTech News Roundup – This month’s Congenius AG roundup tackled some of the biggest regulatory shifts in MedTech this month. The European industry called for the EU to fully join MDSAP, Swiss AI regulations took shape, and new guidance on machine learning-enabled medical devices made waves. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, FDA content faced unexpected political hurdles. With constant change in the sector, staying ahead is more important than ever. 🍰 Hub Member Lunch – What’s better than lunch, you ask? Lunch with homemade cake! And, let’s not forget, the “alphabet conversation” – at least 26 participants strong: thanks to our A-to-Z creative minds. Plus, our team baked up something special, making our Hub lunch a little sweeter. 💬 The Spirit of Bern – For years, rising healthcare costs have been a concern for Swiss citizens, and with increasing insurance premiums, medication shortages, and a growing staff crisis, it’s easy to see why. This year’s #SpiritofBern, whose President is our very own Daniel Buser, took a hard look at the financial struggles of Swiss hospitals and the challenges shaping the future of our healthcare system. Important discussions, tough realities—but essential conversations for change. 🎥  Interview Video Shoot – The HUB became a film set as we captured the faces and stories behind our community. Exciting interviews, behind-the-scenes moments, and maybe even a few bloopers—stay tuned for the final cut! February flew by, and we’re already gearing up for what’s next. A big thanks to everyone who joined, baked, debated, and filmed with us. Swipe through the highlights, and let’s see what March brings! 🚀 #SitemStartUpClub #Community #Innovation #MedTech #InselCampusBern
