The Swiss Re InsurTech Accelerator is a 16-week intensive programme through which we will mentor and help curate startups with the potential of disrupting insurance practices. Started in July 2016, it is the first-ever initiative by a reinsurance company to foster technology innovation amongst startups in the insurance tech area in India.
Through this programme, startups have received the opportunity to engage with global Swiss Re leaders, and gained access to the expertise and insights from the Swiss Re team and mentors from the industry. Startups will be provided a platform to make an impact in the insurance industry, which is currently in the cusp of disruptive transformation.
Currently, we have collaborated with six ambitious and exciting startups who have made it to the first batch of the programme. The three technology themes identified for this year's programme include:
- The Internet of things (home, industrial, health and motor),
- Systems of engagement (innovative distribution channels and models, digital assistants/ Robo advisors etc.), and
- Smart analytics (application of deep learning and machine learning across the insurance value chain)
Come 9 November, these selected startups will present their learnings and achievements at the InsurTech Accelerator 'Demo Day 'to our global leadership, ecosystem partners and potential investors.
Are you interested to be a part of the next batch of startups? Please write to Amit Kalra!
