“Insurance applies to basically any part and stage of our lives”, says Ben Shaw, InsurTech Hub Munich’s (ITHM) Director of Programmes & Strategy, introducing the brand new Innovation Programme. “We strive to institute a broader perspective on relevant fields and solutions for the industry, which means embracing FinTech as well as Health, Process Automation, HR Tech or technologies such as AI”.

Shaw explains: “ITHM can build upon a legacy of four highly successful insurtech accelerator batches. Since the last programme in 2019, our network has grown significantly and become more diverse, which is a major advancement for everyone involved. We’re accommodating to this by selecting 40 startups which offer incredibly broad applicability.”

Different to prior ITHM accelerators, the three-months long Innovation Programme gives participating founders and their counterparts – insurance experts, investors, experienced entrepreneurs and cross-industry professionals– more time to dive deep into best practice entrepreneurial frameworks and accelerating the road toproduct/market fit. 

The ever-growing interest in ITHM’s offerings – two weeks earlier the hub launched the “Collab Initiative” for scaleups – also translates into figures: „We have interviewed over 1,000 entrepreneurs from more than 20 countries in the past weeks and months. Our selection process was highly competitive, finally narrowing down the batch to 40 startups that fit best to the requirements of our partner companies and will really make a difference”, explains Shaw. ITHM and its collaborator WERK1 act as facilitators for all stakeholders, providing concierge business development as well as post programme perks and benefits.

Right after kick-off on February 20, the startups will enter a two-week customer development sprint at WERK1, Munich’s most startup-friendly place. Following are two rounds of business development, mentoring sessions, investor week and offsites. The best teams will pitch on May 14 at Demo Day. Shaw points out: “We’re excited to add another 40 teams to the powerful ITHM alumni network”, which already consists of more than 65 startups from prior batches.
