Abstract

The fourth industrial revolution (technological innovation) is transforming business models and enabling new ways of communication and information sharing in the insurance sector. New challenges emerge, attributable to major changes in customer needs and demands and to the increasing use of new technologies. This chapter explores the impact of technological innovation within the insurance sector and discusses how technological innovation is strongly impacting all phases of the insurance value chain, providing new opportunities and posing new risks. The second half of the chapter provides an empirical study which evaluates how stock markets react to the announcement of incumbents’ investments in InsurTech start-ups.
