The insurtech programme runs throughout the winter period, requires no participation fees and does not take equity as a prerequisite to joining. It aims to facilitate opportunities for pilots, POCS and new relationships between the 14 selected batch startups. Among this year’s attendees are startups that provide AI software, digital compliance, machine learning, marketing, cyber risk and management solutions to the insurance industry.

Plug and Play’s global ecosystem provides ample opportunity to the attending startups, and has a special focus on corporate partners, one of which is the recently acquired Baloise. “Plug and Play is offering us the chance to connect with new partners that are outside our core insurance business," said Sibylle Fischer, Manager of strategic venturing and startup scouting at Baloise. "We are delighted about our new partnership, which will help us to expand our ecosystem network." 

Munich Re, Generali, Versicherungskammer Bayern, Talanx, Irish Life, Willis Towers Watson, Swiss Re and Covea make up the other corporate partners.
