Linda Freiner (Group Chief Sustainability Officer, Zurich Insurance) and Emilia M. (Group Chief Sustainability Officer, Allianz) tackled the critical role of insurance in enabling the net-zero transition, in a session moderated by Jeremy Brown (Head of Climate Strategies & Investments, Anthemis Group). As Emilia put it: “Our core business is at risk due to climate change—how can we not do everything in our power to protect it?” From absorbing climate-related financial shocks to financing sustainable innovations, insurers are positioned to drive meaningful change. But shifting the culture is no easy feat. “We launched a sustainability academy to empower employees—culture can’t shift from the bottom up alone,” Linda noted. The transition to net zero isn’t just about mitigating risk—it’s about reshaping the future of business. Are insurers ready to lead the way? #ITIEU25 #InsurtechInsights #Insurance #Sustainability #ClimateAction #NetZero

Adina Eckstein shared her insights on the impact of AI on the industry: ?“It’s definitely a make-or-break time. Many companies will not be able to reinvent themselves in this AI era.” Tom Hulme highlighted how AI is changing the approach to innovation: ?“AI is making it much easier to prototype ideas. A 50-page business plan is now almost a negative signal.” The conversation highlighted how AI is not just reshaping industries but unlocking new possibilities for collaboration, driving us toward a future where humans and AI work hand in hand to innovate and thrive. #ITIEU25 #InsurtechInsights #Insurance #Insurtech #AI #Innovation

Sten Saar, Founder & CEO at Zego, delivered a powerful session on how autonomous driving is dismantling the foundations of motor insurance. As Sten put it: “Things are changing and will change further.” From shifting liabilities to redefining risk, the future of motor insurance is rapidly changing. The biggest challenge? Navigating the "messy middle"—the transition from human-controlled to fully autonomous vehicles. “The autonomous world will come, but it’s a question of when,” Sten noted. Are we ready for this disruption? #ITIEU25 #InsurtechInsights #Insurance #Insurtech #AutonomousDriving #Innovation #CarInsurance
