ICMIF Supporting Member Gallagher Re has published the first of its 2024 series of Global InsurTech reports. This year’s series of reports will examine the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the reinsurance industry, breaking down the function and processes of AI into their relevant parts within the reinsurance value chain. The first report of this series focuses on distribution and sales.
In keeping with prior reports, Gallagher Re says it will spotlight InsurTech companies that are pertinent to this sector, interview thought leaders in this space and detail the latest InsurTech investment data.
