InsurTech weekly - Scaled winners rise, new insurance disruptors emerge!

_{1/ Value-add M&A in insurance}

The first article is an essay I wrote on the current dynamic in InsurTech m&a across Europe. While that trend has been discussed for a while, it materialized first as a fallback option in the absence of better alternatives. But since the beginning of the year, new acquisitions have illustrated there could be value in leveraging technology in the insurance value chain. And new acquirers have entered the game.

_{2/ How biggest FinTech compare to banks?}

The second article is a report BCG and QED released recently on the state of innovation in Financial Services. As the first wave of FinTech startups turn almost 10 years old, it analyzed the largest players in that ecosystem to spot verticals which have been disrupted the most and highlight the startups which have grown the most. To me, this could pave the road for more innovators in the insurance industry too !

_{3/ The state of Quantum Computing}

The third article, published on Tech.eu, summarizes a recent report IQM released on the state of Quantum Computing. It details where the market stands in terms of investments and use-cases. The report also highlights how much industries could benefit from that tech. Spoiler alert: Financial Services stand second !
