Two weeks left to nominate 2023's innovative insurtechs

As insurance businesses evolve, technology advances and policyholder needs change, property and casualty insurance professionals must make tough decisions about how to best use the digital tools available to them: Should we embrace automated underwriting? Can we trust AI models with claims and underwriting tasks? How can digital connectivity continue to enhance the industry?

PropertyCasualty360 recently queried a cross-section of insurance business leaders to find out what they believe insurance technology innovation looks like in 2023.

Mark Rieder, head of innovation at NFP said, “The fact that we are talking about technology developments in the same breath as insurance is significant in and of itself.” He expects AI-powered personalization to be an impactful insurtech trend in 2023 and beyond.

Joseph D’Souza, founder and CEO of ProNavigator, predicted that in 2023, insurance professionals will increasingly turn to technology and software to help reduce repetitive tasks and enhance productivity. “In a nutshell, [we will find] ways to do more with fewer people while still delivering the expertise, service and customer experience that our customers expect.”

The bottom line: Technology has become a mission-critical tool in the P&C insurance sector. It follows that the 2023 PropertyCasualty360 Insurance Luminaries recognition program showcases technology innovation.
