Insurance Meets Tech names Nigeria’s 10 to watch insurance innovators driving digital future
By Aboki Forex —
Insurance Meets Tech, or IMT, has named its first 10 To Watch list. The list recognises companies using technology to reshape insurance access and operations across Nigeria.
Creato Urban, a PR and marketing agency, developed the framework. It evaluates companies on two equally weighted metrics. The first is digital transformation depth, which looks at the sophistication and ambition of internal technology. The second is market impact, which measures the reach and relevance of digital innovation to Nigerian policyholders.
The methodology rewards both operational excellence and inclusive growth. IMT says technology in insurance must serve efficiency and access equally.
Here are the IMT 10 To Watch Insurance Innovators.
