Driving innovation

Because by innovating together, we are able to

• tackle digital insurance crime in a smart way;
• make and keep new risks insurable;
• to take advantage of new technological opportunities;
• effectiveness and efficiency in the insurance chain.

The Association facilitates innovation

We help insurers to innovate faster, more effectively and in a customer-oriented way. Think of areas such as cyber insurance, blockchain technology, big data and artificial intelligence. There are plenty of developments and topics where insurers can work together within the non-competitive domain.

We do this by:

• inform members and other interested parties about new trends, developments and sectoral needs. The Tech Trend Radar from MunichRe is useful here, which provides insight into what is coming to the sector and when, and how trends are interrelated.
• facilitate and stimulate innovation through new policies. Think of use cases and lobbying for Distribution, Sales and Insurtech and Responsible handling of data.
• support the individual innovation capacity of members. Think of the Youth Innovation Program and the Open Insurtech Program with Plug and Play Insurtech.

"Alone you go faster, together you go further!" Some opportunities, challenges, you prefer to take on together. This is also the case in the Innovation Platform 2.0. Read more about it in the following paragraphs.
