An advisory panel on all things insurtech is one of those good ideas that makes sense the moment you say it. Luckily Insurtech UK has just formed a panel, which should be a great info resource for many start-ups of the future. Here’s the word;
The newly formed Panel aims to build on the initiatives of the Insurtech Board, whilst developing a more active day to day relationship with Insurtech UK in supporting the common goal of promoting the UK as a global leader for insurance innovation.
Insurtech UK has announced the creation of the Insurtech UK Advisory Panel – a voluntary group of senior insurance and insurtech industry leaders – to support the sector’s growth and to work on initiatives designed to promote how insurtech can support economic growth, boost industry productivity and underpin economic and societal resilience.
COLLABS ARE GOOD, VOICES OF EXPERIENCE EVEN BETTER
The Advisory Panel is designed to build on the good work of the Insurtech Board that was supported by Tech Nation, the HM Treasury supported growth platform for tech businesses in the UK. The Tech Nation Insurtech Board focused on collaborative initiatives to promote the UK insurtech ecosystem, helping insurtechs scale and creating an innovative environment to best position insurtechs to flourish. In order to fulfil growing ambitions created by a fast-growing sector, Insurtech Board members believed that partnering with Insurtech UK and its 120+ members was a good opportunity to deliver on these objectives.
The Advisory Panel will retain its full membership from the Tech Nation Insurtech Board and will sit independently from the executive structure of Insurtech UK. It will provide high level strategic advice on key issues to support the Insurtech UK Council and Working Groups and will work collaboratively on projects that will benefit the UK insurtech sector.
Insurtech UK believes that having a united voice representing UK insurtech will improve the sector’s ability to communicate with Government and industry, in addition to allowing Insurtech UK to pursue more ambitious opportunities to provide value for its members and support the growth of the sector.
