The launch of thehatch innovative lab will begin with a Hackathon challenge themed, “Shaping the future of Insurance”, geared towards the development of technologically enabled solutions that solve major problems in the insurance sector. The event is expected to gather 100 participants consisting of 20 teams of innovators to develop business and technical innovative solutions for the Insurance industry.

The Managing Director, Africa Operations, Inlaks, Femi Adeoti expatiated on the event noting that “Most tech-startups do not have the experience to reach the customers that would buy into their solutions. It is, therefore, our goal to hand-hold these startups and take them to greater heights while interfacing with some of our global clients and partners, and thereby take advantage of the opportunities that are possible.”
