Insurwave’s platform connects insurance buyers, brokers and insurance firms enabling placement and servicing of speciality insurance cover.
Since its inception in 2018, Insurwave has focused on the global marine market. It was founded by EY’s wholly-owned subsidiary Shackleton.
As part of IncubEx, Insurwave plans to expand across other major markets and new lines of business such as property, liability, and energy.
IncubEx chairman Neil Eckert said: “Our view is that insurance and climate risk are becoming inextricably linked. The sector will continue to see expanding opportunities as a result of climate change with increasingly complex supply chain risks in the corporate and captive markets.
