Insurance Hackathon (Insurance Authority Innovation Lab)
The Insurance Authority's insurtech hackathon. The top 20 teams spend three days building prototypes in its Innovation Lab with 30+ mentors, across four tracks: customer experience and digital services, AI and data, embedded and on-demand insurance, and insurance for mega-events and mass gatherings. Winners can move on to the Authority's incubator and regulatory sandbox.
