No less than 1,000 Decision makers of more than 250 companies representing 40 countries from all 6 continents turned the third edition of Digital Insurance Agenda (DIA) into a massive success. DIA, the largest ‘must see’ insurtech event worldwide took place at 15 and 16 November in Munich and set the stage for the most important digital developments in the years to come. More than 50 insurtechs presented solutions that will accelerate innovation in insurance. Technologies on stage varied from artificial intelligence and drones in P&C insurance to chatbots and connected devices.
“The DIA line-up and the massive response among the audience show that insurtech is now mainstream. This edition clearly showed the rise of insurtechs that are active in the life and health insurance sector. Plus an ever growing attention for artificial intelligence, machine learning and other shapes of advanced analytics”, summarizes DIA co-founder Reggy de Feniks.
“The live demos at DIA made definitely made clear that insurance is at the brink of being applied at scale. Many of the insurtechs at DIA presented applications that drive operational excellence and customer engagement simultaneously. Platform thinking, thinking beyond insurance and creating new insurtech enabled services will be the next challenge for insurers”, says Roger Peverelli, the other DIA-co-founder.
