Toronto, ON (Dec. 4, 2019) \u2013 As investment in the InsurTech space continues to grow rapidly\u2014from $140 million in 2011 to $4.9 billion in 2018\u2014it is increasingly critical for the insurance industry to keep abreast of key trends.<\/p>\n
QBE North America, an integrated specialist insurer, and Village Capital, today released a new research report outlining trends in InsurTech that are shifting the business of insurance while increasing access to insurance.<\/p>\n
\u201cImpact InsurTech\u201d pinpoints three powerful themes: insurance for all; society shaping insurance and micro-transformations influencing macro risks. Through innovations such as robotic process automation, AI, blockchain and drone technologies, insurance processes are increasingly more efficient, increasing both affordability and accessibility. Insurtech is also changing the way real-time and predictive data can be captured and used to promote development of insurance products that are responsive to emerging risk, allow for customized coverage and pricing solutions to respond to macro-risks such as climate change or cyber risk, and drive future resilience.<\/p>\n
\u201cInsurance has shaped patterns of economic and social growth since its inception,\u201d said Allie Burns, Chief Executive Officer of Village Capital. \u201cInsurance technologies are fueling the emergence of affordable, accessible, and customizable solutions and enabling consumers, companies, and communities to create a more resilient future. We are thrilled to partner with the QBE Foundation to dive into this exciting topic.\u201d<\/p>\n
