Connecting with the client still key
The focus of our Insurtech2022 Conference
was on finding harmony between technology and humans.
Humans being the developer, the maintainer, the product
providing user, the end user and every other human that will be in contact with that technology.
25 Round Table panelists discussed the various angles and provide
their comments in this month’s feature.
Secondly, we focus on Construction & Engineering Insurance. Will there be a revival in this industry sector? It seems everything depends on Government Infrastructure spend. Based on the contributions to this feature, insurers still seem to be quite optimistic.
Enjoy the read.
