· Talk us through some of the challenges of creating innovation in a regulated sector? [approaches in different jurisdictions, EU institutions, Central Bank of Ireland, UK FCA, etc.]
· How have other locations sparked innovation capability in Insurance and what can Ireland learn from them? [London]
· Insurance is all about data and risk information. Is there any unused data left? [yes]
· Does the insurance industry have the space for more data literacy roles, in addition to the actuaries? [yes, role for new Insurtech start-ups]
