Investing in technology will be

crucial for survival

“The scale of change in insurance is a couple of minutes before midnight.”

— Maarten Ectors, Chief Innovation Officer, L&G.

Today’s customers expect seamless, connected and personalised digital experiences—even when buying insurance. And they’re looking for different types of coverage, as society shifts away from long-term ownership towards a sharing economy. There’s a growing demand for short-term, geo-activated and pay-per-use policies.

InsurTechs know this. They’ve realised they can fill the growing gap between what today’s generation wants, and what traditional insurance delivers. They’re agile enough to create innovative new policies—and they’re not the only threat on the horizon. Tech giants like Amazon are about to enter the insurance battleground.

However, incumbents bring their own strengths to the table—with large customer bases, established reputations and vast underwriting experience. Leveraging the latest technology, partnerships and ecosystems—and rethinking the customer experience (CX)—could help them maintain their competitive advantage.

In our new reports and videos, we discuss disruption with leading insurers and innovation experts. Find out what they think about the future of insurance—and how technology can help you face the challenges ahead.
