Hannover, 11 March 2019: Hannover Re announces the launch of hr | equarium - 
an innovation pool exclusive to Hannover Re's global network of insurance 
clients which facilitates connections with innovative insurtech partners. 
 
The online platform provides access to a diverse range of solutions spanning 
the entire value chain, propelling the insurance industry forward by making 
it easier to find and implement new technology. 
 
"We bridge the gap between insurtechs and insurers, because currently the 
industry has a matching problem," said Claude Chèvre, the responsible member 
of Hannover Re's Executive Board. "It's difficult for insurers to uncover 
and select the right solutions. We not only make it simpler to identify the 
technologies that will add the most value to an insurer's business, but we 
and the platform community can rate these solutions and quantify their 
impact, so clients can be confident in approaching them." 
 
"On the other side, new technology providers can struggle to get their foot 
in the door with insurance firms, or to position their solutions in a way 
that really resonates," Chèvre said. "We help our select community of 
insurtech partners to refine their value propositions, and we offer the 
strength of our global footprint and trusted reputation in the market." 
 
Digital disruption, shifting demographics and evolving buyer preferences 
have created a challenging operating environment for insurers. With hr | 
equarium, Hannover Re offers easy access to product and distribution 
innovations that are crucial factors for insurers to stay ahead of their 
competition and to meet consumer needs. 
 
*About hr | equarium* 
Hannover Re's insurtech innovation platform, hr | equarium, bridges the gap 
between digital innovators and insurance companies, helping to shape the 
future of insurance. hr | equarium features two solution types, standard and 
verified. Insurtechs with a market-ready and legally compliant B2B insurance 
offering may qualify for inclusion on the site. Verified solutions must meet 
additional criteria and are selected at the sole discretion of Hannover Re. 
As a global reinsurer, Hannover Re is ideally positioned to host an 
innovation platform allowing insurtechs to market their technology solutions 
exclusively to Hannover Re clients. To register for access as Hannover Re
