Do you use IoT for insurance and financial services? Then this user group is for you.

This user group focuses on the use of IoT within insurance and finance. Here, the use of IoT can take many forms. In the insurance field, IoT can be used for monitoring and error reporting on equipment and buildings, whereby the extent of a damage, costs and inconvenience can be reduced. It can also be used to create better relations and collaboration between insurance companies and policyholders and to provide better insurance, etc. In the financial field, IoT can be used for smart payment solutions, to resist and uncover fraud, to promote customer understanding, etc.

This user group is partnered with Copenhagen Fintech – the national cluster for Finance and Fintech that is established and supported by the Ministry of Higher Education and Science.
