Future.Talk 1 / 2017: Aim and Motivation
Recent changes in regulation, new competitors, new technologies, as well as
rapid developments in digitization are putting an enormous pressure on the
insurance industry. In addition, customers’ needs and demands are changing
substantially in the sense that they desire a higher transparency, a more
personalized service, a simplified claims process, etc. Although the most
recent technologies such as telematics or wearable devices are not
jeopardizing the traditional insurance business model, they illustrate that the
whole market could be quickly disrupted by an innovative idea. Thus,
startups that target the insurance industry with innovative business models
are currently a key topic among industry professionals and investors. This is
mirrored by the fact that the global funding volume of the InsurTech sector
exploded from a mere USD 140 million in 2011 to approximately USD 1.7
billion in 2016. Similarly, the number of startups is increasing rapidly, making
it difficult to keep track on the latest developments in this industry segment.
Against this background, the Future.Talk 1/2017 will take a closer look at the
current InsurTech landscape. Key aspects will be the business models of the
new entrants, their potential for disruption, reasonable incumbent responses,
and the future development of the sector.
The event will begin with a presentation of a new I.VW / Swiss Re study on
the current InsurTech landscape. Subsequently, we will leave the strategic
perspective to consider the latest developments from the angle of the
(re)insurance sector, an InsurTech startup company, as well as an InsurTech
investor. All three perspectives will be presented by a top-class guest
speaker from the industry. Finally, the different perspectives will be merged in
panel discussion, comprising all speakers.
