Exploring the InsurTech journey from the early days of hype and Proof of Concepts (PoCs), to real life applications now accelerating digital transformation for insurers.
There is little doubt that COVID-19 has accelerated the need for incumbent insurers to increase their digital efforts - both due to customers’ needing to buy and consume insurance digitally from their mobile devices and, the insurers’ need for cost optimization in distribution and policy servicing.
Join the Chamber for an engaging and insightful panel discussion with some of the insurance industry’s movers and shakers, as we discuss:
- latest InsurTech trends in HK, across the region and around the world;
- lessons learnt in the collaboration between incumbent insurers and InsurTechs in moving beyond PoCs;
- the potential for HK as an international InsurTech hub going forward.
Details on how to join will be sent via email by 5pm the day before the webinar.
