For the 14th day of advent, Melissa Collett, chief executive at Insurtech UK, talks regulatory incentives for insurtechs and how much the sector could potentially contribute to the economy
1. What was your insurance industry highlight of 2024?
Definitely Insurtech Week 2024! As well as having a continuous stream of visitors to our stand at the conference, Insurtech UK hosted three events that week – including a ‘Welcome to the UK’ event for the international delegations, an insurtech pitching event and an espresso martini reception.
We’re looking forward to another exciting Insurtech Week in March 2025!
2. What is your Christmas message for your insurance colleagues?
Insurtech UK sends its warmest wishes to all those who participated in our activities this year and anyone who’d like to get involved with some of the most entrepreneurial, innovative companies around.
Join us!
3. What do you hope to find under the industry’s Christmas tree for 2025?
I hope we find real financial and regulatory incentives for insurtech companies to start up and scale up in the UK so insurtech can fulfill its potential to be worth $20bn (£15.75bn) to the UK economy!
