The global insurance industry is undergoing operating model transformation through investments in digital innovation, operational optimization, and technology & talent modernization. One of the key objectives that insurers are targeting with such investments is ensuring competitive brand value by delivering a superior customer experience. An important industry dynamic that is both enabling and pushing insurers to transform is the rise of insurtech startups. These startups are continually bringing innovative ideas and solutions to the market that are noteworthy in their ability to pull the insurance industry out of its legacy mindset and hindrances.
The notion of insurtechs being competitors to traditional players has fazed and they are rather being looked at as innovation partners. Consequently, several large insurers have established innovation funds or VC arms to search for high-potential startups and leverage their digital solutions to solve for various longstanding business problems. The momentum is higher in the P&C (re)insurance segment as compared to L&P insurance; however, the latter is catching up as well.
