A new era of seamless protection - The power of embedded insurance
Christoph Herzog, Director

We explore the impact of "digitisation" on the insurance economy—from new risks, to new systems, and greater efficiencies — and how that is changing the insurance industry today, and might plot a path to closing the gap.
