Why did we come here?
Insurance is about to protecting the
way people lives
Insurance have been since 1347 a contract
where someone promises to indemnify
another against loss or damage from am
uncertain event as long as premium is paid
to obtain this coverage
It’s unthinkable for an insurance
company today not to pose the
question of how to evolve its own
model by thinking which modules
within their value chain should be
transformed or reinvented via
technology and data usage
I believe all the players in the
insurance arena will be
InsurTech, meaning organizations
where technology will prevail as the
key enabler for the achievement of
strategic goals
Insurtech can make the insurance sector stronger and in that way more able to
achieve its strategic goal: to protect the way people lives!

Software is eating the world…
The insurance sector will also face the challenge of less human interactions
Average daily activity with the smartphone:
• 1,3 – 3,8 hours
• 75 - 135 sessions
• 2,617 - 5,427 clicks
More than 50% of us use the smartphone
while talking with friends or having dinner at
restaurant
Almost 50% of us sleep near our phone

I’m forecasting the rise of the protection gap due this context
(less human interactions and falling attention span)
Neosurance’s massive transformative purpose is to close the future
protection gap

I’ll talk to you about telematics, but I have before to ask you
for the next 15 minutes to forget all you have heard about it
since today
Because telematics is an
extremely powerful technology
able to transform your journey…
…but you have seen it used only
to go to the market

• First pilots
• Roll out by few
pioneers
• Pilot phases by greatest
part of players by using a
"me-too" approach
• Only few top players
understand telematics full
potential (UW, claims,
VAS), define their own
approach (e.g. big data)
and push the selling
phase
• Commercial offer
differentiation
• Telematics potential
fully understood and
increased commercial
push by all players
• Differentiating

• Telematics approach is
the standard for the
insurance business
• Relationship
