It’s our second program year at Startupbootcamp InsurTech London, and this year we’ve seen a dramatic increase in the number of mature InsurTech startups, especially those using emerging technology to strengthen the value chain, to improve customer experience, and to change the way insurers work.

This year, we scouted 2,500 startups from 50 different countries and selected the Top 23 startups, which are from 12 different countries. These talented startups have been invited to our London offices where they will partake in Selection Days, which kick off tomorrow, Tuesday November 29th, and on Wednesday, November 30th we will choose the Top 10 finalists that will take part in our 2017 cohort.

This year has seen more investment into non-health related InsurTech startups, which take 67% of the total, while deals in health insurance-related startups have received just 33%. In a similar vein, of our top 23 startups, many are using emerging technology and are working directly within the value chain to improve customer experience.
