CELENT INSURTECH CHECK: インシュアテックの声 (パート 1)
The first edition of Celent's InsurTech Check series features video interviews from 9 InsurTechs straight from the floor of InsurTech Connect 2022. Three questions were asked to interviewees:
1) Can you tell me about your offering?
2) How is your company disrupting insurance?
3) Looking ahead, what do you see as markers of success for InsurTechs that are going to thrive in the future?
(The following interview order reflects when the videos were recorded)
