Last Thursday, we had the honor of attending the First Edition of the Alva Awards, an event hosted by the Deutz Business School Foundation that brought together authorities, businesses, young talent, and their families.
During the gala, which celebrated 10 innovative projects, we proudly presented the Courage Award. Among the winners, a highlight was a personal electronic collar designed to measure air quality, created by Alejandro Bernal, who received the top prize of €5,000.
The recognized projects included:

The event also served as a platform to address key topics such as brain drain in Extremadura and to foster networking among companies and participants. These objectives were at the heart of this initiative, spearheaded by 12 regional companies to strengthen community ties and connect with emerging professionals.
