Powered by TechQuartier
We are proud to present Frankfurt's famous digital-hub, the TechQuartier as main carrier of this academic InsurTech event. Still supported by Goethe Business School, this swift towards TQ will open numerous additional options to focus on earlystage startups and on new digital developments, mainly tech-driven. Artificial Intelligence will play a major role hereby.
Israel Partner-Country 2019
It is a tradition to put a special focus during each of our conferences on the digital developments of a specific region. In 2018 we highlighted Singapore, represented by InsurTech Asia and it’s iconic founder George Kesselman. This year we are extremely excited to present you Israel and it’s digital eco-system. Our famous partner is InsurTech Israel with its founder & CEO Kobi Bendelak. We are expecting many innovative start-ups to participate in our pitch.
International Earlystager-Pitch
Our main focus is to bring young and creative InsurTechs from around the world on stage. Specifically between their seedings and Series A. This is the clear target of this event and we cordially invite all interested startups to apply. We want them in the earliest moment to give them the first chance to present their approach to an experienced auditory. We are inviting all accepted pitching InsurTechs for complete accomodation, so they won’t have to pay any transport or hotel expenses when in Frankfurt.
Academic Setting
Our academic setting at Frankfurt’s Goethe University is a core element of our conference. Our authentic “lecture-room-atmosphere” and our famous candle-light dinner at the student's dining-room creates a unique familiar touch which no participant will ever forget. Our 2-day-structure combines innovative pitch-sessions and discussion rounds with international early-stage InsurTechs, presented by highly prestigious InsurTech experts and experienced moderators.
