Insurtech Australia will host an industry event in Sydney on Thursday exploring challenges created by the turmoil of last year and where the capital and strategic investment opportunities now lie.

Supported by Insurtech Gateway Australia and Envest, "Insurtech 2021" will feature Swiss Re’s Senior Solutions Manager P&C Aus/NZ Alison Kelly.

“The past year has seen some big changes in the industry; from a massive shift in consumer trends to a brutal preview of future global health and climate change challenges, and the introduction of new regulations - but with change, comes opportunity,” Insurtech Australia says.

Compliance expert Paul Muir and 11eight venture specialist Ron Arnold will appear alongside Ms Kelly and experts from Envest and Insurtech Gateway Australia.

“We’ll identify the founders, product managers, and innovation agents that are reimagining the new reality, the new future and generating ideas for new products,” it says.
