Companies, in Partnership with InsurTech
Israel, Host Second Annual Global Event at Holmes Murphy
Headquarters
DES
MOINES, Iowa, Oct. 11,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Holmes Murphy and
BrokerTech Ventures are excited to announce they will be co-hosting
the second annual Rapid Global Insurtech Accelerator (RGIA) in
partnership with InsurTech Israel. The RGIA will bring 14 insurtech
startup founders from across the globe — representing six of seven
continents — to Holmes Murphy's headquarters in Des Moines, Iowa, November 11-14, 2024.
Kobi Bendelak, CEO and Founder of InsurTech Israel, created the
premiere program in 2023 and hosted the inaugural event in his home
country of Tel Aviv, Israel.
Bendelak says this year, they chose to hold the event in
Des Moines as the ideal U.S.
location not only because the city is an insurance and financial
services hub in the country but also due to Holmes Murphy's
headquarters and extensive operations in the city and state.
"I'm consistently in awe of the incredible work Des Moines and the greater state of
Iowa have done in the insurtech
space," said Bendelak. "Couple that with our connection between
Holmes Murphy, BrokerTech Ventures, and InsurTech Israel, and it's
amazing how we're able to further strengthen ecosystem ties and
build relationships in the global insurance industry. Our
relationship with these companies and the state of Iowa is a testament to the power of
collaboration, transcending personal, business, and international
dimensions."
The foundation and purpose of the RGIA is to build upon the
global insurtech ecosystem and not only provide mentorship and
business support to accepted global insurtech founders, but also
open the door for the global insurtech founders to experience how
business is done in the U.S. marketplace.
The startups coming to Des
Moines from Africa,
Australia, Ireland, Latin
America, and beyond will be bringing a diverse range of
commercial solutions and technologies with them. As Iowa remains at the forefront of insurtech and
the insurance industry, the state, region, and city of Des Moines have been instrumental in bringing
this event to life.
"I am inspired by the commitment of our friends and business
partners in the Central Iowa
insurance community, as well as the state of Iowa, to help InsurTech Israel bring together
the best minds in insurance and technology and bring to market
trailblazing solutions," said Bendelak. "Their efforts to drive
innovation in the global industry further cements Iowa's position as a powerhouse for insurance
technology."
"With both Holmes Murphy's and BrokerTech Ventures' headquarters
in Des Moines, our collaboration
and partnership with the RGIA is a natural fit," said Dan Keough, Holmes Murphy Chairman and CEO and
BrokerTech Ventures Co-Founder and Co-CEO. "Our goal will always be
to bring to market solutions that help our clients identify risks
sooner so they can drive down costs faster. We believe insurtechs
all over the world have technologies that can help us do that, and
we are committed to elevating and supporting them for the greater
benefit of all stakeholders."
