Join us for the second edition of the InsurTech Hub Munich Digital Health Innovation Programme
Catalyzed by the largest public health threat in recent times, telemedicine and digital health solutions have seen unprecedented growth in the past years. Growing patient and physician acceptance levels and the currently forming set of market rules further prove that this growth trend is here to stay.
Within this environment, insurers are looking to transform from pure cost reimbursers to true healthcare companions and digital health solutions are undoubtedly key for this transformation. The InsurTech Hub Munich supports this transformation with the second edition of the H+ Digital Health Innovation Programme.
During this three-month journey, the InsurTech Hub will bring together its ecosystem of leading insurers, tech firms, cross-industry players and selected, international digital health startups to dive deeper into emerging health topics, bringing in patient-centric innovative solutions, building expert know-how and expertise and fostering mutual knowledge exchange.

``Our health is more important than ever. As a part of the H+ community I appreciate trying to close the gap between two important ecosystems: Life and Health Insurance and new digital innovators.``

``We look forward to a lively exchange with innovative start-up teams and want to work towards ensuring that Münchener Verein remains at the forefront of digitalization in line with our strategy.``
``We picked H+ in 2020 because the main goal of the program is to develop a real use case and strong pitch-deck to present the solution straight to investors and insurance companies. This was an important benefit for us.``
``As a strategic partner, we gain in-depth cross-industry know-how from startups and insurers. This offers us the opportunity to further shape data-driven business models and solutions for our clients.``
“Having an extensive network and direct access to industry leaders make all the difference in such programs. ITHM has unlocked tremendous opportunities for us and massively accelerated the pace of our development as a company.``
