1. the initial situation

Allianz AG was faced with the challenge of holding its own in an innovation-driven competitive landscape with many start-ups and new companies in the insurtech sector.

The partnership with Invenum to increase innovative strength 

Key points here were the use of AI algorithms by Invenum, which make it possible to identify new disruptive approaches or suitable innovation fields in context. 

"We value relevance, accuracy and a close relationship with our customers to understand their needs precisely so we can target appropriate solutions." Prof. Dr. Leo Brecht

Through the use of algorithms, it became clear for the first time that topics from areas such as medicine and the environment have a clear connection to the insurance industry. This is explained both by the fundamental coverage of insurance risks by insurance companies and by their need for investments based on the premiums collected. The identified innovation fields in turn led to a large number of ideas for innovative insurance solutions, which were evaluated by Invenum on the basis of data.
