Insurtech Australia (IA) says Austbrokers Countrywide and Howden Tiger have signed on as ecosystem partners. 

Austbrokers Countrywide says it is excited to partner with IA to be a “leader in pushing the boundaries of how technology and automation can support the broking sector and increase the value they can add to their clients”. 

Howden Tiger is part of the Howden Group, which launched Howden Ventures in October to create an incubator that will fast-track insurance product development. 

Earlier this year, IA hosted an “empowering brokers” event where leading insurtech experts discussed the technologies shaping the future of the industry, and how technology and insurtech play a role in efficiency, productivity and improving customer service through consistency. 

Digital innovations can help brokers stay competitive, efficient and customer relevant, IA says.
