InsTech hosted a webinar with DXC and ServiceNow for a discussion on how smaller and mid-sized brokers can embrace digital-first solutions to stay competitive. Our panel explored Blueprint Two, DORA and the role of AI, while showcasing affordable tools like Assure Broking Essentials.

Tobi Schneider and Lukasz Szpruch examine how generative and agentic AI are redefining what it means to manage and insure risk. They show why traditional models can’t keep up with autonomous, ever-evolving systems—and how insurers must move toward continuous monitoring and innovation to keep AI safe, accountable and insurable.

In this panel from InsTech's October evening event, we explore the rise of new providers like Fathom and Reask and their growing role in flood, wildfire and climate risk modelling.

In this episode, Matthew Grant sits down with Jonathan Rake, CEO of Risk Data Solutions at Swiss Re, to explore how a major reinsurer is building data and analytics as core capabilities beyond traditional risk‑transfer.

In this panel from InsTech's October evening event, Professor Paul Bates CBE FRS (Chairman & Co-Founder, Fathom) joins Matthew Grant (CEO, InsTech) to explore the evolution of catastrophe models - from better digital elevation data to the limits of AI in physics-based modelling.

InsTech hosted a webinar with OIP Insurtech, joined by speakers from Google, HDI Global and WTW, highlighting how Agentic AI is redefining underwriting and operational workflows, clarifying where it delivers the greatest value in complex, context-dependent processes and helping insurers move from theoretical understanding to practical, real-world implementation.

Robin Merttens revisits his 2024 prediction that the insurance industry wasn’t ready for Agentic AI and admits he got it only half right. He explores how underwriters, innovators and perfect timing have turned scepticism into momentum, revealing why agentic AI is transforming insurance faster than anyone expected.

Alice Kaye (Inigo), Caroline McMullan (Verisk) and Dickie Whitaker (Oasis LMF) discuss how to bridge the gap between sophisticated catastrophe models and real-world decisions, and why embracing uncertainty is key to better risk management.

When free data sources dry up, new solutions emerge. Plus, earthquake sensors, weather warning triggers and parametric payouts across three continents.

Agentic AI is gaining traction in insurance, but most firms remain unsure how to use it meaningfully. A recent InsTech webinar shed light on where the technology is working today, and what it takes to move from experiments to enterprise-scale adoption.

In this special episode of the podcast, originally hosted by Indico Data’s Unstructured Unlocked, Matthew Grant, CEO of InsTech, joins Tom Wilde and Michelle Gouveia to discuss how insurers are harnessing third-party data and AI to make more informed, efficient underwriting decisions.

Bordereaux reporting remains a major drag on the delegated authority market, with manual, inconsistent processes delaying data, restricting capital flow and undermining trust across MGAs, carriers and reinsurers. The solution lies in real-time, automated data infrastructure that transforms fragmented reporting into a connected, transparent and scalable system. In conversation with Scott Quiana, CEO of Noldor, we discuss how the company is building infrastructure to remove bottlenecks, restore confidence and enable the program insurance market to grow with greater speed and precision.

Exponential Risk London 26 brochure launches as multi-model strategies take hold, wildfire AI advances and global cat losses reach $114 billion for 2025.

View the photos from our October Evening event, where industry leaders, regulators and innovators came together to discuss the future of catastrophe modelling and the power of multi-model strategies in an evolving risk landscape.

In this episode, a panel from InsTech’s The Future of Catastrophe Risk event, explored the limitations of current catastrophe models and how the insurance industry can evolve its approach to risk.

In this episode, Robin Merttens is joined by Julian Schoemig, CEO and Co-founder of Diesta, to explore why payments and settlements remain one of the insurance industry’s biggest unsolved problems, and what it will take to fix them.

InsTech hosted a webinar with OIP Insurtech, joined by speakers from Google, HDI Global and WTW, highlighting how Agentic AI is redefining underwriting and operational workflows, clarifying where it delivers the greatest value in complex, context-dependent processes and helping insurers move from theoretical understanding to practical, real-world implementation.

In this episode, Ruth Petrie chairs a live panel discussion with Emma Watkins, Chris Weller and Tom Philp to explore how leading voices in catastrophe risk are challenging long-held assumptions about extreme weather, preparedness and what it means to be “modelled”.

InsTech hosted a webinar with PriceHubble and MIAC Analytics, highlighting how property-level climate risk modelling uncovers hidden subsidence vulnerabilities, reveals geographic patterns of emerging “uninsurable” zones, links rebuild costs to asset value erosion, and helps insurers strengthen underwriting, portfolio management and exposure assessment.

In this episode, Matthew Grant sits down with Matthew Eagle, Head of Global Model Solutions and Advisory at Guy Carpenter, to explore how one of the industry's most respected voices sees the future of modelling, capital management and advisory in reinsurance.
