Irrelevancy is only a choice for an Insurer, not his inevitable destiny. Insurtech can make the insurance sector stronger and therefore more capable of achieving its strategic goal: to protect the way people live.

How an insurer can stay relevant
in the age of data

Why did we come here?
Insurance is about protecting the way people live
Since 1347 Insurance has been a contract
where someone promises to indemnify another
against loss or damage from am uncertain event
as long as premium is paid to obtain this coverage
Insurtech can make the insurance sector stronger and therefore more
capable of achieving its strategic goal: to protect the way people live!
How can
InsurTech
help do
this?

3. 3
Assessing, managing and transferring risks are the core activities
of an Insurer
Insurtech is the “superpower”
for assessing, managing and transferring risks

4. 4
All the insurance players will be InsurTech
It’s unthinkable for an insurance
company today not to pose the question of
how to evolve its own model by thinking of
which modules within their value chain
should be transformed or reinvented
via technology and data usage
I believe all the players in the
insurance arena will be InsurTech,
meaning organizations where technology
will prevail as the key enabler of the
achievement of their strategic goals

• I’ve co-funded Archimede Spac (Special
Purpose Acquisition Company)
• The company has the objective to set-up of the
first Insurtech Insurance Carrier of the Italian
market
- a new independent carrier for non-life
non-motor bancassurance
- characterized by an “InsurTech inside”
strategic mode
• It has raised €47M and is listed on the stock
exchangesince May 21st

• This Insurance think tank has aggregated more
than 40 international insurance groups,
institutions and tech firms between Europe and
North America
• The initiative has three concrete outcomes:
‒ The most pragmatic multiclient research
specialized in the insurance IoT domain
‒ One-to-one workshops dedicated to each
member to discuss research outcomes
‒ Plenary symposiums with all the members
together around the same table
I’m helping incumbents to concretely address the IoT opportunity

My experience on IoT insurance
Organization
In the past 6 years,
I advised more than 90 organizations
(Insurer, Reinsurers, Brokers, Vendors, and
Investors) in more than 15 different
countries
on IoT insurance projects

Market share
I’ve worked directly with players accounting for
more than 80% of IoT insurance volumes
(number of policies on auto telematics, smart
home, and connected health)
+80%
6 +800
+80 Conferences
I have debated the insurance IoT
opportunity at more than 80
conferences around the word since
December 2015
Papers
I have produced 6 white papers on
Insurance IoT, which have been
co-authored with prestigious
international organizations
(3 are to be published in the
following months)
Hours
More than 800 hours discussing
concrete experiences, best
practices and pitfalls with the
executives of the organization
members of the Observatory

Each Insurer can create and sell his own insurance IoT value
proposition: insurance contract + IoT data + services
The Insurance players have a unique competitive
advantage vs any other IoT players:
• Because the same data used to deliver services allows to
improve the insurance activity (assess, manage and transfer
risks)
• This way IoT allows to create value on the insurance P&L
• This value can be shared with the client creating a valuable
bundle between insurance coverages and IoT solutions
