Our innovation efforts are focused on enabling our insurance, banking and asset management businesses to achieve their targets. We leverage the skills, know-how and network built over the past years to support further digitalization, product innovation and automation of processes, hence supporting our efficiency and profitability effort. We also leverage our footprint in Corporate Venture Capital to access and monitor new trends, beyond our existing markets.
We are constantly on the lookout for innovative partners who can help us make our insurance business more efficient and, above all, more customer-friendly. With this in mind, we invite start-ups to present possible proof of concepts or pilot projects. If both sides are interested, this can develop into a longer-term partnership. As we have an appropriate team and a lot of experience in this area, this process is quick and easy. Time is a precious commodity and we want to find valuable solutions for both parties.

Our corporate venture capital platform is designed to make investments that generate a return and contribute to innovation. Investments are mainly made in the FinTech and InsurTech sectors, but also target future business models. This is one of the reasons why we invest not only in European, but also in American and Israeli companies in the seed or Series A phase.
In order to combine the best of both worlds - the know-how of an established financial company and the expertise of specialists in investing in start-ups - we work together with the venture capital company Anthemis to identify and evaluate investment opportunities.

We work with universities and think tanks to promote innovation. We are convinced that bringing together different players and expanding our network helps us to think outside the box. In this way, we can shape the future of the insurance industry and beyond together.
Our employees also make an important contribution to Baloise's ability to innovate. With the internal innovation programme "Kickbox", we want to enable our employees to work on their own innovative ideas. Kickbox offers a three-stage process that takes participants from the initial idea to an advanced project within twelve months.
At Baloise, we want to make our customers' lives easier and safer. That's why, in recent years, we have started to forge partnerships and build a portfolio of companies by either investing in start-ups or founding our own start-ups. We have documented our innovation journey from 2017 to 2023 in detail and have compiled a selection of our initiatives below.
