Sabine VanderLinden states "We were so happy to host the first ever London Demo Day for Insurtech and were hugely impressed that we had an audience of over 400 people in attendance, which further highlighted how important innovation is needed within the insurance sector. It was great to see all the hard work over the past three months had paid off for all startups as their pitches were excellent and hopefully this is the start of an incredible journey for them all. I'm also very proud to have worked with all the people involved and I want to thank all the startups, partners, mentors and teams in creating such a memorable event and one we hope to replicate next year"
