Insurtech Australia is inviting start-ups to take part in a rapid-fire pitch competition for early-stage innovations.

The industry group has partnered with Insurance News to host a full-day event packed with practical insights on tech innovation. Beyond the Buzzwords is on July 30 in Sydney and will include the pitch contest.

IA members can submit expressions of interest in the competition until Friday. Email hello@insurtechaustralia.org.

There will be an audience vote on the winner, plus input from expert judges, and the victorious company will be the subject of an exclusive Insurance News feature.  

All finalists will receive an exhibition area to engage with event attendees and demonstrate products throughout the day.

“This is an opportunity for established insurtech companies to showcase real-world impact, build visibility with key industry stakeholders and pitch live to an audience of insurance professionals and a panel of expert judges,” IA said.

Applicants must be established insurtechs with revenue from at least three insurance customers and a product that addresses a significant insurance challenge.

The conference is also supported by gold partner Instanda, event sponsor Allianz and marketplace sponsor Raindrop.

Attendees are eligible for six NIBA CPD points and seven ANZIIF CIP points. IA members are eligible for a discount.
