THE JOURNEY IS CLEAR, THE DESTINATION NOT SO MUCH
Our 2023 TechFest, in itself a four-month journey, recently concluded with a two-day virtual seminar and an in-person cocktail networking event. This year we went back to the drawing board of Insurtech, opened the first slide and asked the question: What are we trying to achieve? The insurance industry is in the business of insurance and the questions is, what are the fundamentals of a successful insurance business. The message was clear, unpack the fundamentals and then find technology solutions that will add value in such a way that the business becomes more client centred, adaptable, profitable, and sustainable.
We are now busy preparing an E-Book on the digitisation journey, with contributions from more that 20 specialists in various fields of insurance industry digitisation. If you would like to get a picture of the destination, look out for the release of our TechFest E-Book in July. You can also visit our website to watch video footage of the event.
Construction & Engineering
In this issue we also unpack the latest on Construction & Engineering Insurance. Despite the depressed economy and uncertainty, there is an optimistic feel to the comments on this segment. Most commentators felt that several infrastructure projects relating to electricity, water/ sanitation and social housing would filter through to the
C & E industry. However, risk management and a cautionary approach is essential. Be sure to read the articles in this feature.
Enjoy the read.
