InsurLab Germany

The Hartford InsurTech Accelerator is part of an initiative convened by the city of Hartford , Connecticut designed to nurture a prosperous insurtech community . The scheme boasts partners including HSB , Travelers Insurance and Nassau and puts on several events a year , including pitches , innovation challenges , networking evenings , and keynote addresses . Despite its relatively diminutive stature ( indeed , the population is about 120,000 ), the city of Hartford is actually fairly wellknown within insurtech circles , as it hosts the annual InsurTech Hartford Symposium .
InsurLab Germany connects insurance companies , startups and research institutions in an effort to drive collaboration and innovation within Germany ’ s fastgrowing insurtech sector . Indeed , Europe ’ s largest economy has much to boast about from an insurtech point of view , including an addressable market of more than 80m people and success stories like wefox , Getsafe , Clark , and Hepster . What ’ s more , the country ’ s insurtech scene is diverse with no one city dominating the landscape too much – although Berlin , Munich and Frankfurt-am- Main are obvious destinations .
