Summary

We’re back with our occasional “Partner Chats”. Robin Merttens and Matthew Grant reflect on what is going on in the world of innovation and insurance. As usual, there are some things to celebrate, and some things to grumble about. We are the guests of QBE Ventures, the venture investment and development arm of QBE Insurance Group for this episode. Peta Kilian, UK Head of Strategy and Partnerships, joined us ready with a list of questions from her colleagues across QBE. Talking points include: Does insurance need underwriters? What is algorithmic underwriting and does it really work? Sharing data between insurers and their partners - is there anything to celebrate in 2022? Energy transition and the move to reduce carbon emissions - what’s coming next? Cyber insurance - is now the time to get involved? And a lot more Thanks to QBE for inviting us and allowing us to record this session. For a quick look at what this looked like on the day take a look at our video here.

0:00.0	Good morning, good evening. And if you are one of our regular listeners that goes out for a run, cycle or walk whilst listening to us and you're living in the northern hemisphere, then I hope you're wrapped up well.
0:18.6	It's a frosty morning here in London as we record this and I think it's going to stay that way for a few days. Well, we're into the final
0:24.6	week before Christmas Day or holiday period, and it's been a while since Robin Merton's
0:28.4	eye took some time out of talking to people around the world to have one of our occasional chats.
0:32.9	But rather than lock ourselves away in a cupboard, a fireplace fireplace or a car for recording this time,
0:38.0	we took the show on the road. Peter Killian and Simon Pink from QBE's innovation team
0:43.0	had invited us in to talk to their colleagues, so we decided to combine our partner's talk
0:47.2	with answering some of the questions that people really want to know about, all sourced from

1:22.2	being our hosts, and firing off for questions to us, both,
1:23.9	actually quite helping on the other side of the microphone,
1:27.4	and of course, to our engaged audience, and nice quassons too. Okay, here we go.
1:33.3	So, Robin, this one's for you. What and who is INSTEC?
1:38.3	Instech is a complete accident in the sense of my history was as a broker and then as innovator myself.
1:45.3	I found myself unemployed in 2012. I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to go back into
