“Positioning Munich as the insurance industry’s Silicon Valley”: Mission accomplished! InsurTech Hub at international trade fair DIA

Numerous highly informative discussions, intensive exchanges and close contacts to both existing and potential partners: The Digital Insurance Agenda (DIA) congress, at which InsurTech Hub Munich e.V. presented itself as one of the trade fair partners, was a great event for the network. “Once again we showed how attractive Munich is for InsurTech companies. It is impressive to see that participants from all industries, big reinsurers  and insurers, start-ups, tech companies, journalists and politicians agree and say: we will make the insurance industry more digital and we will do it together” , Tom Van den Brulle, 1st Chairman of InsurTech Hub, has a thoroughly positive track record.

No fewer than 1,000 decision makers from 42 countries around the world, from Australia to Canada and from Argentina to Japan, transformed the third edition of the DIA into a superlative InsurTech event. One of the highlights was undoubtedly the appearance of Daniel Schreiber, founder of Lemonade and a kind of Steve Jobs in the InsurTech industry. But the numerous lectures by other start-up founders also captivated the audience.

They were able to present their products to an audience of more than 1,000 highly targeted InsurTech experts. As a result they’ve got extremely valuable contacts to investors, corporate partners, industry leaders as well as international peer startups. All this reflects very nicely what the InsurTech Hub Munich and WERK1 are all about: connecting the dots”.
