Collaborator
THE COLLABORATION PROGRAM FOR START-UPS AND SCALE-UPS
Our results-oriented collaboration program is a catalyst for new collaborations and innovations in the insurance market. It's aimed at both younger start-ups and more mature scale-ups looking to scale and attract new customers. If you are accepted into our 6-month program, you will work closely with our member companies to develop joint use cases and gain exclusive access to our broad network of experienced experts.
Our program includes no mandatory workshopsbut concentrates on exclusively on the cooperation between the start-up or scale-up and the member company. Our experience shows: The exchange of know-how and resources as well as joint work on use cases create a solid basis for long-term partnerships.
This intensive collaboration promotes innovation and helps you to achieve your goals faster and more effectively. Together, we are pushing the boundaries of the insurance industry and setting new standards!
