    Data, analytics and technology will change how we understand and manage risk - and insurance is at the heart of a lot of that. But if you are an insurer how do you know what's really going on beyond the hype? And if you are providing great innovation solutions - how do you get your voice heard? As one of the two active partners, and co-owner I'm running and growing InsTech London. We're a global network of over 20,000 people working with over 150 client companies. We are all looking for the best ways to build and use innovation to help manage risk and reduce costs. Whether you work for an established company and are looking for new business partners and ideas or are on your first great business venture, you'll find something useful in our advice, resources and activities. Come to our monthly events, listen to weekly Sunday morning podcast (Instech London - on all decent podcast platforms), read what we think about the news in Wednesday's newsletter, join the debate and discussion on Linkedin.
