Big opportunity for insurance fintech startups

DXC SpringBoard is looking to reward innovative companies that are developing systems for the insurance industry.

IT services company DXC Technology, in collaboration with fintech accelerator Stone & Chalk, is running a national competition for late-stage startups developing systems that will benefit insurers.

DXC SpringBoard has two categories, one for systems that work with DXC’s digital insurance as a service platform, and the second for standalone products.

The expectation is that entrants will have a focus on prevention, remediation and customer engagement.

Workshops – including technical tutorials, business guidance and sales coaching, led by DXC Technology and Stone & Chalk – will help entrants prepare for the final presentation and demonstration of the applicant’s working solution to the judging panel, which will include representatives from DXC, Stone & Chalk, IAG, AIG, other insurers and industry associations.

The winner in each category will receive a cash prize of $4000, an opportunity to partner with DXC Technology, and the chance to present at the company’s Thrive on Change insurance Industry conference in Sydney on 7 March 2018.

Applications are open until 26 January 2018.
