The news comes on the heels of Axio’s participation in Lloyd’s Lab Cohort 10. Axio was one of 13 InsureTech companies selected out of 200 following a competitive pitch process in front of an expert panel of Lloyd’s and market stakeholders participants.
Axio was invited to join based on its concept centred around helping the Lloyd’s market effectively understand cyber physical damage risk and offer sustainable coverage solutions for this exposure. Throughout the 10-week program, Axio will develop its products with the support of market experts and explore how its innovation can support Lloyd’s market.
“We are honoured to be included in the Lloyd’s Lab Cohort 10,” stated Kannry. “A huge thanks to our insurance team for their amazing work and to Lloyd’s of London for its confidence in Axio.
“Our participation in the program is a strong sign of Lloyd’s market commitment to developing cutting-edge cyber risk solutions, especially for more challenging exposure types.
“There’s no question that many buyers have been frustrated by the coverage limitations that were put in place in recent years when these risks were not well understood, and we’re excited to work with Lloyds to now turn the tide and develop sustainable solutions that work.”
