Agriculture Insuretech Innovation Challenge

The World Bank Group, through the Global Index Insurance Facility (GIIF), helps smallholder farmers and micro-entrepreneurs gain better access to finance, manage financial losses, and protect their livelihoods against more frequent and more severe weather events. However, the potential of agriculture and index-based insurance is greatly restricted by many challenges faced throughout the product lifecycle - from product design to client delivery to claim processing.

To leverage innovative solutions, the GIIF is organizing an agriculture Insuretech innovation challenge/competition as a part of an Insuretech fair, to be hosted in Mumbai, India in June 2019. Through this innovation fair, the GIIF aims at improving the understanding of InsureTech, supporting the integration of different technology solutions with agriculture insurance, and applying innovation with actual programs on the ground.
