Up to DIA #8

Hello, greetings and welcome to the eighth edition of the weekly Up to DIA. Last week was skipped due to the event that took place the week before. We are back and energized to bring you some new articles and a little story of DIA and Barcelona.

This week's featured video is a small one by Swiss Re on the latest trends in motor risk. Check it out on our Netflix-like DIA TV .

Let's start things off with the DIAmond Award Winners. In case you forgot or missed, the winners of DIA Munich 2022's prestigious DIAmond Award Winners are:

Show & Tell: XUND , Insurance Business Applications , DeepOpinion , ValueChecker.ai , Dynamo Cover Limited .

Deep Dive: SAP and Uberall

Check out the article with quick links to each winner's own featured article.

Next up for the articles, we have a company that presented on stage at DIA Amsterdam 2022 and had a booth at DIA Munich 2022: DriveQuant . DriveQuant offers the Software Development Kit (SDK) DriveKit for insurers experienced with telematics and who wish to scale up. Insurers who are new to telematics can make use of DriveQuant's white label app. Both solutions also come with energy analysis features, allowing insurers to reduce their environmental footprint.

Another company that was on our Show & Tell stage in Amsterdam and was present in Munich is Sapiens Germany GmbH , an insurtech that builds digital insurance solutions in the DACH market. Their low-code, cloud-native platform SCIP Sales offers insurers to shop for solutions via a SaaS business model. SCIP allows users to build products, create sales journeys and sell products online within minutes.

Well, what do you know? Another company that was at both events. INSTANDA developed a fully customisable, no-code, SaaS-based, end-to-end policy administration platform. This platform enables insurers across the general insurance and life and health space to build, distribute and maintain insurance products.

And another one. bsurance is a B2B2C, white-label insurtech focused on embedded insurance. They offer insurance-as-a-Service such as product development, real-time policy issuing, claims handling, settlements, FNOL and onboarding. Their cloud-based insurance platform offers embedded insurance solutions for all products and services. Moreover, bsurance covers the entire life cycle of insurance products via their seamless API connection to any sales channel.

Last one this week is an interview with Elaine Mannix , Global Insurance Lead at UiPath . This interview is all about Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and how they improve tasks in areas across the full value chain in insurance such as underwriting, compliance and audit and actuarial services. Elaine also shares some success stories and use cases of RPA with us and gives a view on the future of RPA.

Now it's story time! DIA's very first event was held in Barcelona at Casa Llotja de Mar on the 20th and 21st of April, 2016.

After Barcelona, we moved our preferred location from Barcelona to Amsterdam and later added Munich to our portfolio. Our co-founder Reggy De Feniks back then said that one day, we'll hold DIA in that beautiful and huge location known as Fira de Barcelona.

Now six years later and after ten editions of the Digital Insurance Agenda, we are incredibly hyped to announce that the 2023 event will be held in the heart of Barcelona at the iconic venue, Fira de Barcelona.

Located in Montju?c Park beside pla?a d’Espanya, you’ll find nearby expansive green zones, Olympic facilities and cultural landmarks such as the National Museum of Catalunya (MNAC). Plus, it's situated right next to iconic settings such as the Magic Fountain of Montju?c. So, between networking and enjoying the show, you’ll have the opportunity to visit the incredible city and enjoy some neat culture in beautiful Barcelona!
