The insurance industry represents 7% of global GDP, yet compared to Banking (at 9%), insurers’ investment in technology is substantially under-indexed. The median bank spends 8% of revenue on technology, while insurers are in the single digits.
This investment trend is starting to change each year. Now that InsurTech VC investment represents 10% of the overall FinTech investment, capital and talent are being pulled into the sector. With over 80 Corporate Venture Capital units, insurers are the most prolific corporate investors with more dedicated CVCs to the segment than VCs.
Insurers investing in the space or considering investing in the space for strategic value should stay up on the trends to identify new opportunities. This private executive briefing will feature Gallager Re’s own Andrew Johnston whose quarterly report has gained more than 1 million views. And, we will feature research conducted by InsurTech NY and Tilburg University on Corporate Venture Capital.

The small commercial is one of the most difficult markets to crack for traditional insurers. There is no single carrier with more than a 4% market share (PC 360). Yet, InsurTechs like Next and Pie Insurance continues to grow and acquire customers.
The challenge many carriers have with the small commercial market is the missing data and process efficiencies required to serve small premium accounts. Additionally, many of the small businesses available to serve are uninsured or underinsured.
Join us for the private executive roundtable and analyst briefing to discuss small commercial and small group distribution with your peers.

If you ask a typical policyholder, the experience with their Insurance Carrier or Broker is almost universally negative and at best neutral. It could be because they did not like the buying experience or it could because a claim they had was not handled properly.
The root of much the negative customer perception is a mismatch between the brand promise on TV commercials and advertisements and the customer experience. Once a policy is in place, little is done to engage the customer and provide value-added services that can reduce claims, supplement core products, and meet the brand promise.
This panel will explore how to innovate on current distribution models of insurance and engage customers post-sale.
