GC Genesis and the ITA specific focus is on the advances in digital technology and, more specifically on InsurTech.” He adds, “The recently concluded InsurTech Alliance Science & Engineering Expo is unique. The Expo brings together insurers, InsurTech companies, academics, scientists and engineers in an open and collaborative forum. Numerati® Partners and its ecosystem of academics, scientists, and engineers conduct extensive and objective reviews of the emerging digital technologies, as well as deep dives into designated InsurTech companies and their supporting technologies, products, and services.
