With Octo, the leading, global provider of telematics and driver behaviour analytics, Shelton Fleming co-created an insightful and inspiring summit to rethink the automotive insurance market and e-Mobility sector. Hosted in Milan, the event, Global Summit: Future of Insurance, positioned Octo as the unrivalled platform for insurers to set premiums and evaluate claims.  

This innovative, two-day summit brought together automotive OEMs, insurers, software developers, system integrators, the media, and smart-city evangelists. All participants had a shared interest in the future of an automotive insurance market, shaped by technology that monitors driver behaviour and contextual factors like weather conditions, roadworks, proximity of schools and their opening and closing times, traffic congestion, and pedestrians.

Featuring high profile guest speakers and partner-sponsors, the programme focused on transforming understanding of car systems and driver behaviour data, safety, and risk. Regardless of whether the source of the data is in car, car to car, or car to surrounding environment. The programme further explored how the future of transport ecosystems, underpinned by hyperconnectivity, will produce vast quantities of valuable, dynamic data for setting premiums and claims.

Octo was positioned as the de-facto market leader in this new world of software defined insurance services. Blending advanced data analytics, AI, and machine learning, along with the ability to convene stakeholders across the global insurance and automotive ecosystems, made this a first of its kind forum.

Feedback from delegates produced a 5 star rating on audience calibre, agenda, and delegate experience which included a day-two road tour, testing the platform from the driving seat of an iconic Ferrari.
