Technology and spectacle are two words that can sum up well what the two days of the third edition of ‘CQCS Insurtech & Innovation’ were like. According to the organizers’ estimates, more than a thousand people were present at the Pro Magno conference center. In addition, renowned experts in innovation and new technologies from four countries – the United States, Germany, France and Switzerland – and from other continents gave presentations, either live or broadcasted through a platform. The panels were divided into four themes: ‘Profile or Persona’, ‘To be or not to be Digital?’, ‘Accelerating the Future’ and ‘User Experience & Wellness’.
‘Many technologies that were ready and on standby were activated and the market for global insurance is coming out of this tail of the pandemic stronger and up to date’, highlighted the event host, Gustavo Doria Filho, CQCS’ CEO. This year, a new feature: startups, insurtechs and associations experienced a new space at CQCS Insurtech & Innovation, the ‘Demostage’. There, entrepreneurs were able to demonstrate early-stage initiatives to publics of interest (investors, insurance brokers and prospect clients) in presentations lasting on average 15 minutes.
Another feature that inspired the audience was an intelligent voice device. One of the event’s sponsors, the School of Business and Insurance (ENS), in partnership with Sistran Brasil, presented a virtual teaching assistant using natural language/voice commands, the Alexa Insurance Guru. Created to take advantage of the full potential of the platform developed by Amazon, the device provides, at a voice command, information and clarifications about insurance. The intent is to offer information to brokers in an accessible language, demystifying the insurance jargon.
At the ExpoInsurtech venue, panelists presented their products and services. The purpose of this space, besides demonstrating products and services, was to encourage networking, closing deals and establishing partnerships. The exhibition comprised regulatory agencies, insurance companies, insurtechs, investors, technology service providers, among others.
In addition to innovations and news from the digital world, CQCS Insurtech & Innovation recognized and honored market professionals who helped transform the sector and who are now part of the history of insurance: Antônio Carlos de Almeida Braga, Abrahão Garfinkel, Armando Vergílio, Mário Petrelli and Nilton Molina were distinguished with commemorative plaques. ‘We take great care in honoring people who have contributed to the development of the market or to our journey of innovation’, highlighted Doria.

Brokers’ Congress will promote social actions

During CQCS Insurtech & Innovation, Fenacor held a press conference to provide information on the 22nd Brazilian Congress of Insurance Brokers, which will take place from 2 to 5 March 2022 at the Royal Palm Resort, in Campinas (SP). At the press conference, the Federation’s president, Armando Vergilio, was accompanied by the president-elect of Sincor-SP, Boris Ber, and the president of Sincor-SE, Érico Melo.
Vergílio highlighted the importance of the event, which will focus on innovation, communication, technology and other matters of interest to the sector. He emphasized that the Congress will feature a tribute to professionals in celebration of Women’s Day, presenting a panel with female executives from the market.
About Exposeg, the president of Fenacor revealed that the space will bring together 22 exhibitors, a smaller number this time due to the pandemic. He also highlighted the social actions to be undertaken based on the motto: ‘Education: a safe path’. Families in need will be provided with school supplies, tablets, computers and other items which may benefit basic education students.
