Specialist insurer Apollo Syndicate 1969 has joined forces with Artificial Labs, the algorithmic underwriting insurtech, to introduce an innovative smart follow collaboration.
This collaboration aims to unleash fast, consistent, and dependable capacity for brokers operating within the London market.
Building upon a successful proof of concept conducted in early 2023 which harnessed Artificial Labs’ technology for marine hull, this partnership will extend to various other lines of business. It also intends to provide brokers with a wider spectrum of options and prospects within the smart follow market.
Our ongoing initiatives are geared toward establishing a framework for the future underwriter through technological advancements, partnerships, and innovation. Spearheaded by Farris Salah, our Head of Smart Follow, this collaboration represents one of the most prominent and exciting outcomes of our endeavours.
