How would Europe’s top start-ups and boldest entrepreneurs and innovators transform the life insurance, health insurance, or retirement industry? What improvements could be made to enhance the experience of industry professionals and clients?

RGAX’s Big Ideas competition is looking for ideas that can answer these questions and unlock new potential for the future of the life and health insurance and retirement industries.

The Big Ideas competition is a chance to look ahead and discover the innovative solutions that entrepreneurs and industry outsiders want to bring to life. RGAX, the transformation engine of RGA, is hosting its third annual Big Ideas competition, open to dreamers, thinkers, and doers across Europe. After hearing hundreds of incredible ideas from the UK in past years, RGAX is excited to extend the contest to see what disruptors in Madrid, Berlin, Amsterdam, and Milan and other cities have in mind for the next wave of change in the insurance and retirement industries.

This year, Big Ideas is partnering with Impact Hub, the world’s largest network of entrepreneurs, with a thriving ecosystem that extends across more than 50 countries. The competition will draw on innovative communities of RGAX and Impact Hub to introduce you to ideas that are spearheading transformation in the insurance industry and beyond. Ideas will be pressure-tested with feedback from a panel of esteemed professionals who will share what they think of these new visions for the future.

All it takes is one person with one idea – no prototype, test, development, or company necessary.

The competition takes place in three stages:

  1. Big Ideas submission – These will be collected by RGAX until March 21, 2019.
  2. Local Finalists – The top 5 submissions from each country will be invited to pitch their ideas live in Madrid (March 26), Berlin (March 27), Amsterdam (March 28) and Milan (March 29).
  3. Final Pitch Day - One idea from each local finalist location will be invited to the final pitch day in Paris, where the ultimate Big Ideas winner will be selected.

While the deadline for this year’s contest will likely occur before you see this article, you are invited to follow the local pitches and the final pitch day as we determine the ultimate 2019 Big Ideas champion. Use the links below to get inspired, look toward tomorrow, and see which Big Ideas rise to the top with the potential to transform the future of insurance.
