Zurich has launched its second Innovation Championship 2020 after a successful run last year with more than 450 entries received across 49 countries. Today, Zurich is working with winners and finalists on projects that range from improving mental and physical well-being to reducing waste water and more accurately identifying the risk of wildfires and floods.

What they are looking for this year

Competitors can focus on one of the following angles with their entry:

1. Risk mitigation and management – Services to help customers manage and mitigate risk.

2. Claims management and recovery – Services to help customers recover and rebuild in a sustainable way.

3. Risk advisory – Services to help customers better assess risk.

4. Wildcard – Services beyond the three other categories will work as a wildcard entry.

How the Zurich Innovation Championship works

• All competitors will start in a local round and, if successful, advance to the Regional and Global rounds. By August 2020, there will be three winners.
