The InsurTech100 for 2019 is announced to recognize the pioneering companies transforming the global insurance industry

The second annual list of the world’s most innovative technology solution providers for the global insurance industry was announced today by FinTech Global, a specialist research firm.

The InsurTech (insurance technology) industry has seen huge growth in the last two years as insurance companies grapple with the challenges of digital transformation and new demands from customers. Nearly $10bn has been invested in InsurTech companies since the beginning of 2017.

As a result, this year’s process to identify the leading 100 companies in the InsurTech space was even more competitive than last year. A panel of analysts and industry experts voted from a longlist over 1,000 companies produced by FinTech Global and the finalists were recognized for their innovative use of technology to solve a significant industry problem, or to generate cost savings or efficiency improvements across the insurance value chain.

“It is imperative that established insurance companies become aware of the latest innovations in the industry in order to be able to compete today in a market that is heavily focused on digital distribution,” said Richard Sachar, director of FinTech Global. “The InsurTech100 list helps them do just that and to identify new business models which will have lasting impact on the industry,” he added.
