The European technology sector is going through a sweet moment, according to 2017 figures in terms of activity and investment volume, with figures that exceed the record levels of the previous year. Check out all these figures and our analysis of the sector's situation.
The insurance industry is currently faced with a hitherto unknown change it has had to face in order to survive. Strong pricing and competitive pressures, changing consumer behaviour, technological advances and the ease of financing business ventures that meet new needs are changing the competitive environment in the sector.
These changes in the competitive environment are also leading to increased activity in the insurance industry and the appearance on the scene of new players such as Insurtech, which are forcing the sector's conventional agents to reinvent themselves. Although technology has become a key element in the new customer relationship models, it will be the strategy that determines success in the digital transformation.
All this greatly affects both the industry's own activity and its attractiveness for investment, which is no stranger to these changes.
