InsurTech combines ‘insurance’ and ‘technology’; InsurTech includes technology innovations to bring savings and efficiency to the insurance industry model. The InsurTech concept represents the commitment to innovation and development of new products and services within the insurance sector. The use of the latest technologies to expand and optimise the business model of an entire industry.

Insurance is therefore moving beyond pure risk transfer to risk management and prevention, fueled by an exponential increase in data availability.
