“Together we can go further,” said Joan Cuscó, director of insur_space. “The collaboration between startups and large companies is an opportunity that neither party can miss. We position ourselves as the benchmark programme in the insurance sector, reducing processes to weeks that in other conditions take several months.

“After two years and 22 pilots launched on the market, we know perfectly what we should contribute and what we can expect in return.”

The application period closes on July 24.

Earlier in July, FinTech Global reported that MAPFRE RE, the re insurance part of MAPFRE Group, had signed a deal with cyber risk modelling startup Kovrr to use its solutions to analyse the accumulated cyber risk exposure for MAPRE RE.
