Businesses now enter accelerator phase to validate their proposals

Zurich Insurance Group (Zurich) has selected 12 startups to collaborate on novel ways to serve customers, create more frequent meaningful touchpoints with them, and challenge the boundaries of insurance.

They were selected as part of Zurich’s global startup tournament, the Zurich Innovation Championship. The tournament, now in its third edition, received approximately 2,600 applications in four categories – insurance reimagined, prevention and mitigation, simplicity, and sustainability.

‘The breadth of ideas that we received from startups around the world was incredible and gives us a glimpse of what tomorrow’s insurance will look like,’ said Ericson Chan, Group Chief Information & Digital Officer. ‘Our winners have well thought-through and innovative solutions, and we look forward to developing these together to provide new solutions to our customers and simplify the way we interact with them.’
