25.05.2020 08:27, Gianmaria Sbetta

In the same way that the banking industry was disrupted by fintech, innovative startups are shaking up the world of insurance. Discover five Swiss insurtech startups that are bound to leave a mark on the insurance industry in 2020 and beyond!

Insurance is considered one of the oldest and most traditional industries, and it is said to be fairly resistant to change. But in the last few years, a new digital wave of innovation is shaking up the sector, and a growing number of startups are tackling inefficient processes and high costs while encroaching on the territory of the big players.

Insurtech companies mostly focus on increased personalization, a digital-first approach, and mobile services that not only offer great UX but also address changing customer needs. State-of-the-art technology and big data analytics combined with a modern and agile IT infrastructure give insurtech companies more speed and freedom to operate.

The Swiss insurtech ecosystem is growing, led by Wefox that has been raising USD 268.5 million since 2015. Let's look at five Swiss startups that are bringing innovation to the insurance industry.
