Hannover Re dives into insurance innovation
Hannover Re is launching “hr | equarium”, a pool which helps connections with insurtech partners for its network of insurance clients.
To be fair, hr | equarium is a pretty bad name
“We bridge the gap between insurtechs and insurers, because currently the industry has a matching problem,” says Claude Chèvre, the responsible member of Hannover Re’s executive board. “The platform community can rate these solutions and quantify their impact, so clients can be confident in approaching them.”
“On the other side, new technology providers can struggle to get their foot in the door with insurance firms, or to position their solutions in a way that really resonates,” Chèvre adds.
The online platform provides access to a range of solutions across the entire value chain.
According to Hannover Re, digital disruption, shifting demographics and evolving buyer preferences have created a challenging operating environment for insurers.
Via hr | equarium, Hannover Re says it offers access to product and distribution that are “crucial factors” for insurers to stay ahead of their competition and to meet consumer needs.
Hannover Re is an investor in Finleap.
