Insurance Connect

What Insurance Connect does

Insurance Connect s.r.l. is a privately held Italian B2B media and events company focused exclusively on the Italian insurance industry. Headquartered in Milan and led by Direttore Responsabile Maria Rosa Alaggio, it operates a multi-channel portfolio: the Insurance Trade online news portal (insurancetrade.it), the Insurance Daily email newsletter (3,000+ editions since January 2012), the Insurance Review professional magazine, the Insurance Magazine bimonthly consumer title distributed as a supplement to Il Sole 24 Ore, the insuranceconnect.tv video platform, and a podcast. The company also owns and operates recurring industry events including the Innovation Summit, Insurance Connect Awards, the Intermediari conference, and the RC Auto conference.

The business is monetized through four streams: (1) advertising and sponsorship packages sold across digital, print, and video properties to insurance companies, banks, and Insurtech providers; (2) paid event admission and sponsorship for the Innovation Summit, Awards, and sector conferences, with free access granted to RUI-registered agents, brokers, collaborators, insurance companies, and banks; (3) subscriptions to Insurance Review and Insurance Daily; and (4) training and professional services, including continuing-education hours for insurance professionals. Pricing is differentiated by segment (Freemium for qualifying intermediaries; paid admission of EUR 300-800 for non-qualifying attendees).

The technology stack is a conventional web-publishing architecture: a CMS-driven portal, an email newsletter delivery system, a video portal, and event registration and subscription back-ends. The platform covers every major vertical of the Italian insurance ecosystem - companies, intermediaries, regulations, technology, welfare, bancassurance, RC Auto, and risk management - through dedicated Osservatori (research sections). Headcount is small (11-50 employees) and the company operates exclusively in Italy, with no disclosed external investors or parent company.
