Insurance has been one of the hottest areas of innovation in Fintech over the past decade. We are seeing new distribution models, new product structures – but also technology and analytics used to make traditional products and traditional distribution channels more effective.
Thousands of Insurtech startups are operating around the world. We will sit down with executives from three successful Insurtech players – and talk about their vision, drivers of innovation, and challenges that keep them up at night.
