InsurTech Startups in Africa
Overview Powered by AI
InsurTech in West Africa is gaining traction, but penetration remains low. Hollard, Alexander Forbes, and RelianceHMO are leading the way with digital platforms and innovative products. However, infrastructure challenges and low insurance awareness hinder widespread adoption. Local business leaders see potential but emphasize the need for education and regulatory support to unlock the full potential of InsurTech.
