Underwriting Innovation Europe 2021

A hard market and increased catastrophes, combined with the burden of legacy systems and mundane admin, have meant that underwriters have been struggling to operate profitability for years—but all is not lost. 

Making the underwriting process more efficient is a huge opportunity for any insurer to reduce its expense ratio. The key challenge for underwriters is how to increase profitability through efficiency, innovation and technology? 

Tools, such as artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), and the internet of things (IoT) can reduce manual tasks and speed up processes, so you can focus on what really matters—making profitable underwriting decisions, creating new products and expanding into new markets.

Intelligent Insurer’s Underwriting Innovation Europe virtual event (June 28 - 30) is unique because it brings together senior underwriters from P&C, commercial lines, life & health and speciality. 

They’ll be debating how to integrate new sources of data, develop more sophisticated pricing, get products to market faster and deliver on customer expectations in a world of changing risks. 

Plus, you’ll receive a crash course on how to support your workforce to become underwriters of the future by leveraging freed-up capacity to upskill, provide new career paths, and empower staff to take on higher-value tasks.

A Three-Day Agenda Tackling New Technologies, Tools, Data and Processes in Underwriting

• Harness external data and advanced analytics to drive efficiency and make better decisions: deploy AI, robotics and automation to work smarter, deliver maximum value and boost profitability

• Identify opportunities for emerging risks: cyber, cannabis, autonomous vehicles, and climate change. Use data to price intelligently and deliver innovative products and services to new customer segments

• Become the underwriter of the future: achieve the right blend of art and science, human and machine and upskill in statistics, analytics and AI to maintain relevancy and retain talent 

• Accurately assess risk through emerging technology and catastrophe models: evaluate IoT, aerial imagery and location data to provide tailored cover, more accurate prices and mitigate risk

• Respond to the evolving distribution landscape: build a strategy for engaging with brokers, aggregators, insurtech and managing general agents to access profitable markets and reduce friction along the value chain
