Why core systems, governed intelligence, and customer-centric operating models are now the defining criteria for insurers entering 2026.

Insurtech sector leaders expect to stand stronger, smarter and more pragmatic than ever in 2026 by shifting from experimentation to execution, embedding artificial intelligence at scale, strengthening data foundations and proving their value through real, measurable innovation.

Insurtechs came of age in 2025, shifting from disruption to deep integration, proving artificial intelligences real-world value, expanding globally, and cementing their role as essential partners driving insurance innovation and modernisation.

Insurers are entering 2026 with one clear mandate: Strengthen the core to unlock scalable, AI-enabled growth.

As insurers grapple with generative AI’s power and risks, EIS positions architecture, governance, and optionality as the foundations of sustainable transformation.

For more than a decade, the worlds of finance and technology have been coming together in ever more powerful ways. Digital banking, open finance, and embedded payments have transformed how consumers manage their money and how financial institutions create value. Yet insurance, perhaps the last financial frontier, has barely begun to realize this potential. Now, the convergence of GenAI and fintech is triggering a fresh growth wave, and no industry stands to gain more than insurance.

A rare conversation with EIS co-founder Mike Dwyer reveals how the company’s original architecture anticipated today’s AI-driven transformation.

As we move out of the hype curve for every new and disruptive technology, people tend to fall into the disillusionment phase. It’s normal, and it has happened before. But this time feels a little different…
