The Global Insurance Innovators Community (GIIC) brings together pioneering organizations that are applying insurance in innovative ways to advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Its members include the finalists of UNDP’s Insurance Innovation Challenges. Through national and global-level competition, this initiative identifies and supports innovators developing products that close the insurance protection gap.  Small businesses, smallholder farmers and vulnerable households face significant exposure to economic, climate and health-related risks,  yet many remain uninsured due to limited awareness, high premiums and a lack of tailored solutions. This set of case briefs explores how insurtechs are addressing these gaps by introducing innovative approaches that leverage technology to expand access, lower costs and streamline the insurance experience.  Innovations include mobile platforms and embedded insurance, the use of artificial intelligence, blockchain and satellite data, automated onboarding with simplified user journeys and tech-enabled distribution models.
