Hartford InsurTech Hub powered by Startupbootcamp, is an initiative that was conceived of by a diverse set of executives from Hartford-area insurance carriers and other related firms, City of Hartford staff, and several other community stakeholders. Opportunities to help spur increased InsurTech innovation activity in the region were identified by this group, and action against these goals was catalysed by investment from CTNext: Connecticut’s Innovation Ecosystem. The InsurTech Accelerator is part of Hartford InsurTech Hub, and established to attract new talent and technology to Hartford, one of the world’s leading insurance centers, and will provide entrepreneurs with the support, resources, and industry and investor connections they need to help grow their business. It will build a culture of innovation leveraging international entrepreneurs in Hartford, and develop a local innovation ecosystem supported by local resources, capabilities and talent, in which insurance technology startups can grow and flourish.
