The eighth cohort will begin on 25 April 2022 and run for 10 weeks.

Lloyd’s Lab used four key themes in its most recent selection process - these focused around decarbonisation and climate change, supply chains, data and models and claims.

Lloyd’s Lab also accepted wild card entrants whose businesses fell outside of these themes - these insurtechs centre around space safety and contract review.

Ed Gaze, senior manager of Lloyd’s Lab, said: “It’s really exciting to be welcoming the eleven successful teams to the Lloyd’s Lab for our eighth cohort.

“We’ve invited insurtechs to address some of the most pressing issues the Lloyd’s market faces, from supporting the transition to a low carbon economy to getting better at dealing with business interruption claims.

“We’re delighted to be working with some of the most innovative insurtechs in the world and look forward to seeing how they help our market, customers and society progress.”

Lloyd’s Lab’s seventh cohort launched in August 2021.
