Broker firm Brokerslink has added six technology firms to its network.
The six founding ‘B.tech affiliates’ are: BWD (digital transformation), KYND (cyber security), Innovagency (digital experience), Inovretail (data science provider) , IT Power (business process and claims management) and Lightico (customer experience).
According to the company, the new affiliates are the first non-broking or risk consulting firms to join the network since its creation in 2004. A showcase of their services will take place at Brokerslink’s forthcoming conference in Porto.
Anne Collette, business development and partnerships director at Brokerslink, said: “As we move forward into a new age of insurance brokerage, the pressing need for organizations to become strongly digitalized has become self-evident. The Covid pandemic has accentuated this need; those who choose not to evolve in this space will almost certainly be left behind.”
She added: “To facilitate this transition, Brokerslink has expanded its network diversity through the integration of InsurTech and technology firms. Following extensive market research to select key digital solutions, the new ‘B.tech’ affiliates will provide our network with the tools to progress in areas such as user experience, operational efficiency, data interpretation and cyber security assessment, among others.”
