Driving Innovation Forward: Generali at InsurTech Insights London 2026

InsurTech Insights London 2026, taking place on 18–19 March at the InterContinental London – The O2, remains one of the most influential global platforms for insurance innovation. Bringing together insurers, innovators, startups, and investors from over 80 countries, the event offers a unique opportunity for strategic dialogue and collaboration across emerging technologies, AI‑driven change, and evolving market expectations.

This year, Generali reinforces its commitment to shaping the sector’s evolution, contributing strategic insights across sustainability, advanced technologies, and emerging risks. The Group will be represented by Lucia Silva, Group Chief Sustainability Officer; Danilo Raponi, Group Head of Innovation; and Giorgio Ripamonti, Innovation Scout and Venture Capital Manager.

Leading the conversation on sustainable and societal resilience

On the main stage, Lucia Silva will deliver her keynote “Beyond Climate: Innovating for Societal Resilience,” exploring how insurers can respond to increasingly interconnected environmental and social challenges, and how innovation can help protect communities, economies, and vulnerable ecosystems. The session underscores Generali’s long‑standing leadership in purpose‑driven and sustainable insurance.

Navigating AI‑driven risks and the race for innovation

AI continues to reshape underwriting, operations, and risk assessment at unprecedented speed — with the potential to automate up to 50% of claims processes. Against this backdrop, Giorgio Ripamonti will lead an interactive Generali workshop on AI‑related risks and liability, offering practical guidance on governance frameworks essential for responsible adoption.

He will also be a speaker in “Fast, First or Forgotten? Finding the Advantage When Everyone’s Innovating”, a session examining how insurers can stand out in a market where innovation has become a basic requirement rather than a differentiator.

Looking ahead to the next frontier of insurance technology

With innovation models evolving rapidly, Danilo Raponi will contribute across multiple high‑impact discussions, joining the panels “Quantum Leap: Preparing for the Next Frontier in Insurance Tech” and “Lessons Learned from Failed Insurance Experiments: Labs, Accelerators and Incubators.” He will also speak in “A Brief History of Time: From InsurTech Innovations to Corporate Venture Capital,” which reflects on the industry’s evolution from early disruptors to the modern era of strategic partnerships and corporate venture capital.

A pivotal moment for the sector

This year’s conference arrives at a decisive moment for insurance. The rapid advancement of AI, machine learning, and emerging technologies is not only streamlining operations but fundamentally reshaping customer expectations and risk dynamics. The conversations taking place in London will influence how insurers balance innovation with responsible governance — a priority that aligns closely with Generali’s long‑term strategic vision.

A platform for global leadership

As Europe’s leading insurtech forum, InsurTech Insights London offers a unique platform to shape the next chapter of insurance. Generali’s extensive participation reflects its ongoing commitment to sustainable innovation, strategic collaboration, and long‑term value creation for customers, communities, and the industry.
