Expanding Your Business in the U.S.: The Possibilities Are Endless but only One Starting Point
The United States represents the world's largest insurance market — and for InsurTech innovators ready to scale, the question is never whether to establish a U.S. presence, but where to begin.
In this workshop, the presenters will guide international InsurTech companies through the strategic, operational, and ecosystem considerations that make Hartford, Connecticut [the Insurance Capital of the World] the premier. landing zone for insurance technology firms expanding from abroad.
Hartford is not simply a city with an insurance legacy — it is a living, evolving InsurTech ecosystem. Home to the CT-UK InsurTech Corridor, a public-private partnership of insurers, private companies, regulators, and economic developers who have developed a formal roadmap to enter the US. This concentration in Hartford offers offshore companies something no other U.S. market can replicate immediate proximity to decision-makers, deep pools of insurance-domain talent, and a public-private infrastructure purpose-built to accelerate market entry.
Participants will leave with a clear framework for evaluating U.S. market entry options, an understanding of the support available to international firms landing in Connecticut, a primer in US insurance regulation, and direct connections to the organizations and leaders who can make that landing fast, efficient, and sustainable.
