For insurance companies, insurtech offers the opportunity to modernise existing business models and respond to changing customer expectations. At the same time, customers benefit from a simpler, more digital and often more flexible way of accessing insurance services.
The insurtech market offers attractive opportunities for start-ups, as many processes in the insurance sector are traditionally heavily regulated and, in some cases, still largely undigitised. Innovative solutions can deliver significant efficiency gains in this area and open up new market segments.
