Sandbox Release
On 3rd October we launched our Digital Sandbox - a game-changing platform designed to accelerate innovation across our industry. We were joined by our platform provider NayaOne, and our panelists Rob Leslie (Sedicii), Paula Kennedy Garcia (Capita) and Stephen Moran (PTSB) who shared their experiences having gone through the Central Bank of Ireland's pilot Innovation Sandbox Programme. If you're interested in hearing more about the sandbox get in touch.
Our presence at ITC Vegas grows each year, and this year we partnered with IDA Ireland to bring Ireland, Insurtech Island to Vegas. Eight Irish insurtechs joined us in our dedicated space at the biggest insurtech event of the year, including Blink Parametric, Cation Consulting, Dimply, Data Science Wizards, Eppione, Exante, Inaza and Xtract. We're delighted to be able to showcase Irish Insurtechs on a global stage.
