Big Ideas Competition Calls on Thinkers, Doers, and Dreamers
Innovation is blossoming at RGAX’s Big Ideas competition this spring. The multi-site pitch event and mentorship program provides a business acceleration platform for innovators with solutions to challenges that affect the life and health insurance or retirement market. We asked thinkers, doers, and dreamers not employed by an insurance or reinsurance company to share their ideas for solving a health or insurance-related challenge of their choice. Solutions at any stage of development were welcome.
“We are tapping those outside insurance and reinsurance because we believe they have ideas that could further innovation throughout our industry as well as deliver clear customer benefits,” said Emmanuel Djengue, Innovation Director, RGAX EMEA. “Through the Big Ideas competition, we will work with first-time and/or experienced entrepreneurs to unlock these ideas, bring them to market, and build businesses together.”
The top five submissions from each country were invited to pitch their ideas at events in cities across Europe, including Madrid, Berlin, Amsterdam, and Milan during the last week in March. On April 4th, RGAX announced five finalists that will receive professional mentoring and participation in a final pitch event in Paris on April 25th where the winner will receive a cash prize of 10.000€ from RGAX.
