Digital Insurance in Asia

Published: Wed, 10/19/16

 
Insurance in Asia, and InsurTech in particular, has been gaining a lot of attention recently not just within Asia but also globally...and rightly so!  We have seen an increase in the amount of content available about the burgeoning InsurTech scene in Asia and one only needs to look at the hive of activity taking place amongst both incumbents and start ups to demonstrate that, what started as small ripples, is now looking more like a wave of action.

The question now is who will become the "winners" from all this activity, as the potential prize is huge! We have a number of initiatives that we are involved in, including our first Digital Insurer conference, that we would like to share with you that showcase our Asia focus.
