Zurich's commitment to innovation evident in partnership with insurtech start-ups
The Zurich Innovation Championship is a global start-up competition that identifies and collaborates with the most innovative start-ups in the insurance industry. Over 3,500 start-ups applied this year, and omni:us was one of 13 winners.
As part of the prize, omni:us will join a four-month accelerator program with Zurich. During this time, they will receive financial and non-financial support, including guidance and coaching from Zurich executives and advice from internal and external experts.
omni:us’ CEO, Thomas Hauschild, said: “We are grateful to Zurich for recognising the value of our AI-powered Digital Claims Adjuster platform. We look forward to working with the Zurich team to demonstrate how our platform can benefit their customers.”
Zurich’s Group Chief Information & Digital Officer Ericson Chan said: “Collaborating with start-ups is essential for staying ahead of the competition. The insurtech market is booming, and we are committed to embracing new technologies.”
The Zurich Innovation Championship is a testament to Zurich’s commitment to innovation. The company is constantly looking for new ways to improve its products and services, and they are open to working with start-ups to achieve this goal.
