General insurance – Insurtech Innovation and Efficiency Working Party – members

Application closing date: 28 July

The Insurtech Innovation and Efficiency Working Party was set up in 2019 to keep the profession informed on developments and trends in the insurtech space relevant to general insurance, with particular emphasis on any impacts on actuarial work. Having reported our initial findings in 2021, we are now looking to refresh the membership and launch ‘Act 2’ of the working party.

The basic aims will remain the same, but we anticipate executing smaller, more focused pieces of individual research and media scanning, and delivering more frequent short-form output. Insurtech is a dynamic area, and this approach should allow us to keep the actuarial community informed and updated.

The full scope of Act 2 is not yet decided and we particularly welcome fresh ideas from new members.

Membership

We are looking for new members from the general insurance community or from the technology side. Membership is open to both members and non-members of the IFoA. Ideally you will have some knowledge of or exposure to insurtech, but an enthusiasm to learn, research, and contribute to the working party is the most important criterion.

Time commitment

Approximately 3 to 6 hours per month. We have a formal working party meeting every other month and an informal catch up in the intervening months.
