About Us

In 2015 we could see the opportunities for change in insurance.

Back then we had more questions than answers. How can insurance be delivered better than it is now? What are the issues that most need to be addressed? What data sources and toolsets lie out there that will help do that? What does the future of insurance look like?

So we founded InsTech…

A community of like-minded people who could share their discoveries, visions, solutions and ideas and meet with others doing the same. It’s grown to over 30,000 people who regularly read, listen to or watch us and our members in order to understand how to deliver insurance better.

With so many ways to get involved from newsletters, podcasts, events, reports and more, join us to collaborate, share ideas and make new connections.

The InsTech Community

Collaboration of the curious

Our global network of over 30,000 senior insurance professionals and 150+ corporate members consists of large enterprises, early-stage start-ups and everything in between.

Focused on where change is impacting insurance

At InsTech we care most about where change is impacting insurance today – entering new markets, improving core business processes with technology and responding to emerging risks.

Data

There is more data available now than ever before. Understanding the best data to use for underwriting, how to use data for risk management and how to exchange increasingly large amounts of data between parties are key considerations.
Platforms and Operations

The technologies that insurance companies use are becoming more interconnected. Insurers need intuitive platforms that streamline their workflows, integrate with varied data sources and benefit from the efficiency gains of new technologies such as generative AI.
Environment and Climate

With climate change increasing the frequency and severity of weather events, understanding risk exposure is becoming more important than ever. Whilst insurers need to report on climate-related risks, they are also exploring new products to support the transition to a greener economy, from carbon to renewables.
Underwriting

Data and technology are changing the way that insurers underwrite. Improved catastrophe models and new technology for algorithmic underwriting are helping to make the day-to-day lives of underwriters easier.
Claims

New technologies promise to make the claims process more efficient, with remote assessment and document ingestion making life easier for adjusters.
Distribution

The insurance value chain is changing. More business than ever is being underwritten by MGAs. Some consumer insurance is increasingly ‘embedded’ into other products. The whole market continues to search for efficient ways to match capital to risk and close the insurance protection gap.
Parametric

Parametric insurance is enabling coverage for risks that were previously difficult or impossible to insure. With pay-outs based on event triggers rather than loss assessments, organisations are increasingly turning to parametric to fill gaps in catastrophe cover or protect against emerging risks.
