InsurTech Business Series

Following the pandemic, we have seen development and drive from forward-thinking insurers and InsurTechs to offer new and innovative insurance services to customers; partnership is being embraced, embedded insurance (finance) is on everyone's lips, new insurance models are being tested and adopted and products are being designed from the scratch with the customer at the center of it all.

We are keen to have a conversation on these new trends and what they mean for the future of insurance in Africa as well as for new markets insurers are now engaging with via InsurTechs. This is why we invited: 

Naby Mariyam- Founder/CEO of Coverhero
Joel Macharia- Co-Founder/CEO of Motisure
