Lloyd’s has selected The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and L Marks, an innovation specialist in the insurtech sector to support the set-up and operation of its innovation lab.

To be launched in the second half of this year, the lab will focus on designing technology-driven platforms to meet the fast changing needs of the Lloyd’s market.

The lab, according to the insurer, will facilitate the testing of new concepts, ideas and products in a fast-track, fast-fail environment.

L Marks will be responsible for defining the overall Lab activities and timetable and support the day-to-day operation of the Lab.

It will also run global scouting campaigns to identify the most relevant insurtech startups and arrange mentoring and business support programmes for participating start-ups.

BCG will work with the Lloyd’s Market Association (LMA) and managing agents to identify major challenges faced by the Lloyd’s market.
