What we do

How to work with us

We explore future technologies to analyze their impact on the insurance industry and our society. The Technology Briefing Center is a key initiative in this endeavor.

At the forefront of innovation

To find answers to the questions of tomorrow, we need different perspectives. That is why we are always interested in networking with tech- and industry experts, futurologists or universities. Collaborating could include exchanges, research, joint projects, events, or white papers.

Technology Briefing Center

Together with our Venture Capital partner Angel Invest, we have co-founded the Technology Briefing Center, a venture think tank that aims to bridge the gap between cutting-edge innovation and smart strategic decision-making. With a focus on AI, FinTech, and Climate Tech, it brings external perspectives and market insights into SIGNAL IDUNA Group, ensuring we stay ahead in a rapidly changing world.

GenAI

Generative AI’s potential in the insurance industry is massive. No other topic better illustrates exponential growth and technological progress. Together with the respective business units and our strategic partner Google, we have helped build and scale two strong internal use cases: a Gemini-based chatbot to increase employee productivity and an AI agent for the health insurance service team to respond to customer queries more quickly.

Whether it's a standard insurance for your company or employees, embedding insurance in your product, or the joint development of new business models – we’ve got you covered.

We are your safety net

Founding your own business is exciting and fun but it also comes with stress, uncertainty, and hurdles to overcome. Proper insurance coverage is vital in mitigating potential risks – let us be your security guard.

Together, we create new business solutions

Insurance can be integrated into many value chains - resulting in even better services for your customers. Let's explore together what new business models we can build.

Case Study: Vay Technology GmbH

Vay is the first company to teledrive cars on public roads without a person inside, in Europe and the US. Not only did signals Venture capital invest in the firm, SIGNAL IDUNA also insures the teledriven cars in Germany.

Using our Venture Client approach, we are looking for solutions in enterprise architecture, data analytics, and value-added services to offer our customers the best possible experience.

What startups are we looking for?

Positive news: We're a large corporation with many chances to become our supplier. To mention two: We always strive to boost the efficiency of our processes and align them closely with our business goals. Hence, enterprise architecture solutions are always of interest. In times of GenAI, a good database becomes even more crucial. That's why we seek data preparation, processing, and evaluation solutions.
