InsurTech promises vast potential for transforming the world of insurance. These emerging technologies and innovative business models are already disrupting the industry, and bringing positive changes to how inclusive insurance operates, fostering better product design and risk assessment, improving efficiency and reducing costs. These efficiency gains can lead to lower premiums, better client servicing and faster payouts. Ultimately they translate into greater access and better value for low-income and emerging consumers. But InsurTech innovation could also have negative implications, for example by potentially increasing the risks of cyber-attacks, or by excluding lower income and higher risk consumers.
