Description

Insurtech - Thematic Intelligence


Summary

The insurtech industry witnessed a period of robust growth in 2020 and 2021, characterized by substantial company valuations that were supported by both public and private funding. However, the scenario shifted in 2022 and 2023 as rising interest rates and economic challenges led to a more restrained investment environment. This reduced investors’ eagerness to participate in insurtech activities. Meanwhile, the role of AI gained prominence within the insurance space, driving technological advancements. The effect of the insurtech phenomenon on the wider insurance industry is clear to see. New-age technologies and processes involving AI, the Internet of Things, and big data have been championed by startups, forcing incumbents to react and match the efficiencies these tools have brought.

In 2023, the insurtech industry faces a mixed investment landscape. Despite a decline in the number of completed deals compared to 2022, the value of investments is on track to exceed last year's levels, signifying larger investments are being made. Economic uncertainties have contributed to this cautious approach, with the sector experiencing challenges from high inflation and geopolitical tensions. However, signs of recovery are evident, with venture funding bouncing back in Q1 and Q2 from the lows of 2022. Notably, artificial intelligence (AI) adoption has become a pivotal trend, empowering firms to streamline operations and improve customer experiences. Recognition among consumers and SMEs is growing, which could drive future investments (although established players still dominate recognition in the market). Overall, the insurtech sector navigates a dynamic landscape, responding to economic fluctuations and technological shifts to shape its trajectory in 2023.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
