    This weeks #insurtech and #fintech news and the hottest #innovation in #insurance and #finance

    Last week, we worked with a regional insurer leveraging digital content to increase the efficency of sales manager and key-account manager working with insurance agents and brokers.

    Then we are going to talk about the bumpy move of Tesla into the insurance industry, and why they needed to shut down their insurance website hours after launching. I also will talk about the CEO of Allianz - Oliver Bäte - and why he is wrong when talking about the future of sales in insurance.

    From Asia we will talk about Zhong An mixed H1 numbers.

    We also share our read of the week by Mark Hollmer, our supporter of the week Craig Polley from London and the aquision of the week: fintec Raisin (Weltsparen) buying insurtech fairr.
