Overview

The Innovation Challenge is a contest designed to draw out ground-breaking ideas from entrepreneurs, students, and experienced professionals with the intent to enable forward momentum beyond the end of the contest.

InsurTech Hartford ran its first event Innovation Challenge in 2020. The Challenge has received over 200 submissions and its winners have raised over $25m in venture capital since winning. More than 1,000 people have attended the finals events online. The event has become a global challenge.

This year's innovation challenge will build off the success of prior years. We will follow an 8-week process to gather submissions and review with a panel of insurance professionals to down-select finalists. Finalists in each award category will pitch to a panel of judges, and the judges will select a winner. Finalists will present to a global audience at an Awards event where the winner will be announced.
