The American insurtech had first announced its plan to expand into Europe last November 

Lemonade has named Germany as the first country in Europe that it is expanding into.

Alongside this it is also releasing Policy 2.0, which is an open source digitised insurance policy, which it has claims is “the world’s shortest…coolest” policy. It is simplified to help customers understand the wording. 

The start-up says that the policy is a “first of its kind” collaboration project between customers, insurance experts and the team.

It shows what you pay for the policy upfront, and what is covered. It is renewed automatically on a monthly basis until either party cancels it.

It follows Lemonade receiving $300m in funding to accelerate its expansion, as well as the trend for subscription-based insurance policies. The US-based insurtech announced last November that it had its sights set on Europe for expansion.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
