Because of their legacy and sheer size, most insurers' cultures make it difficult to act with agility. The nimble, focused nature of insurtechs can help insurers' respond.
Among the largest insurers, building a stake in the insurtech movement takes various forms, including direct investment, acquisition and supporting tech accelerators.
