The recent ITC DIA Amsterdam 2024 event offered a compelling view of the current state of the insurtech industry. Among the hustle and bustle, Dr. Robin Kiera, CEO and Founder of Digitalscouting provided thought-provoking insights, emphasizing the changing dynamics of the insurance technology industry.
Collaborative Instead of Disruptive
Dr. Robin Kiera noted a significant shift at this year’s event. Unlike previous years, there were no bold disruptors poised to radically alter the insurance industry. Instead, the conference showcased a thriving ecosystem of both new and established technology and service providers. This ecosystem approach represents the maturation of the insurtech space, with collaboration and incremental innovation at the forefront.
Enhancing Insurance Offerings
Dr. Kiera’s observations highlight the opportunity for insurers to leverage these new services and technologies. Insurance companies can improve their service delivery and product offerings by incorporating advanced solutions. This is especially important given the industry’s current challenges. Adopting these innovations can help insurers better serve their customers while also stabilizing the industry during these challenging times.
