The Observatory mission is to promote a profitable IoT adoption
Insurance IoT Observatory is a five-year-old think tank
specialized on the insurance IoT with the participation of
top executives from the most relevant Insurers,
Reinsurers, and Tech players in the IoT insurance arena
The Observatory is about connecting people and ideas in
order to spread the innovation culture throughout the
insurance market with three concrete outcomes:
• A global multiclient research on the insurance IoT
paradigm
• One-to-one workshops delivered to each member
• Plenary symposiums with all the members
Some international insurance best practices have
successfully integrated IoT in their insurance value chain
and achieved positive ROIs. These insurer’s business
transformation journeys show how strategy matters
more than size
The Observatory speaks the insurance business
units’ language but has the innovation units’ soul

The most pragmatic multiclient research specialized in the
insurance IoT domain based on a constant observation of the
usage of sensors in different insurance business lines around
the globe
We interpret best practices and pitfalls for the members
leveraging experience built on advising hundreds of
organizations in almost 20 different international countries on
IoT insurance projects

Telematics usage on commercial auto is at infancy
Source: IoT Insurance Observatory, represented the level of maturity of the most advanced market for each business lines
• First pilots focused on
one single use case
• Roll out by few
pioneers (with some
volumes)
• More pilots and
product lunches, by
greatest part of players
by using a "me-too"
approach
• Only few top players
understand IoT full
potential (UW, claims,
VAS), define their
own approach (e.g.
big data) and push to
sell more
• Commercial offer
differentiation
• IoT potential fully
understood and
increased commercial
push by all players
• Differentiating

• Telematics approach
is the standard for the

• Relationship

tailored on our needs
Insurer
Some quotes from the Observatory participants
The initiative provided though-
provoking contents. The deep dive
sessions were clear and stimulated
great engagement within the
organization
Insurer
It is not about to discover the new
killer application. The Observatory
have continuously delivered top
level contents and provided food
for thoughts, valuable input for our
innovation path
Insurer
When you read a press release or
hear a speech at conference, you
see only the shining side. It is great
to have the rationalization that
connects dots, and investigates
also what has not worked well
Insurer
Insightful ideas and continuous
opportunities to meet innovative
providers to partner with
Insurer
Great platform for engage and
discuss a wide range of topics and
ideas that will impact all of us in
the insurance industry soon
Reinsurer
Relevant opportunity to approach
unique contents about connected
insurance – both from actuarial
angle and customer angle - and to
discuss them with Insurance
Executives, Associations and the
Regulator
IT provider
The Observatory is creating value
for us. We met insurers that have
started to work with us. It is also
useful to have a constant update
on the markets around the world
IoT Insurtech startup
The Observatory has provided a
guidance that has allowed us to
successfully pilot IoT wearable
devices to prevent workplace
injuries without being led astray by
industry hype and press releases
