Insurtech Hub

What Insurtech Hub does

Insurtech Hub (legally Insurtech Technology and Consulting Inc.) is a private, for-profit insurance technology ecosystem organization founded in 2019 and headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey, operating from the Yıldız Technopark Incubation Center. It functions as a professional network rather than a traditional SaaS vendor, connecting insurance industry stakeholders—insurers, banks, agencies, brokers, and insurtech startups—with technology providers, mentors, and investors. The organization positions itself as Turkey's first and only insurtech network and award body, and participates in international developments as a member of the Global Insurtech Alliance.

The core offering is a membership-based ecosystem delivered through several integrated programs: a Startup Accelerator Program and an Agency Acceleration Program (both anchored at Yıldız Technopark), four vertical committee programs (Health Insurance, Automotive Insurance, Digital Insurance, and Bancassurance), and flagship events including the Insurtech Conferences and the Turkey Insurtech Awards, held within the International Insurance Fair and Congress. Supporting reference assets include an Insurtech Dictionary (industry glossary), an Insurtech Startup List (categorized directory), and an Insurtech Score evaluation report used in award assessment. The technology footprint is that of a network hub and event/community platform (using third-party tooling such as GlueUp and AcerApps hosting) rather than proprietary software; there is no public API or mobile app.

The business model is community-led and event-driven. Revenue derives from tiered annual membership packages (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) sold to insurers, banks, technology companies, startups, and agencies; event sponsorship packages for conferences and awards; award application fees (700 TL + VAT per category, waived for members); and professional-services-style accelerator programs. Go-to-market is direct membership sales supported by events, committee meet-ups, digital channels (website, newsletter, PR), and the Global Insurtech Alliance for international visibility. The organization is founder-led by Fatih Acer, with a network of 20+ corporate members, mentors, and experts, and a headcount of 11–50.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• InsureTech Connect (ITC): World's largest insurtech conference (Las Vegas flagship, plus regional editions). Competes with Insurtech Hub's Insurtech Conferences and Awards for international delegates, sponsors, and speaker mindshare, and represents the global benchmark Insurtech Hub benchmarks itself against.
• Anthemis: Venture studio and ecosystem platform focused on financial services, including insurance. Comparable as a broader financial-services innovation platform with insurance exposure, but operates at a wider scope (investment, advisory, ventures) than Insurtech Hub's community-led model.
• Medici (formerly Insurtech Solutions Group): Specialist insurtech advisory and ecosystem platform connecting insurers with startups, investors, and solution providers. Similar in mission and stakeholder mix to Insurtech Hub, but operates more as a consulting-led platform than a membership community.

Direct peers

• Plug and Play Insurtech: Silicon Valley-based innovation platform running a dedicated Insurtech vertical that connects insurers (corporate partners) with startups through accelerator batches, pilots, and deal-flow. Closely comparable to Insurtech Hub's startup accelerator and committee structures.
• Global Insurtech Alliance: International alliance of regional insurtech hubs and accelerators of which Insurtech Hub is a member. Directly comparable as a peer-ecosystem network and is also a strategic partner, competing for influence and sponsorship dollars across member hubs.
• Lloyd's Lab: Lloyd's of London's in-house insurtech accelerator that runs cohort programs linking insurers, brokers, and technology startups. Comparable to Insurtech Hub's accelerator and committee programs in bringing together incumbent carriers and emerging technology providers.
• Startupbootcamp InsurTech: Global accelerator program dedicated specifically to insurtech startups, comparable in offering type (structured accelerator, mentor network, investor matching, demo day) and target customer (early-stage insurtech founders seeking corporate partnerships with insurers).
• InsurTech Israel: Israel's leading insurtech ecosystem and accelerator hub, directly comparable to Insurtech Hub in mission (connecting insurers, startups, and investors), with InsurTech Hub's own CEO Kobi Bendelak cited as a speaker. Operates a similar startup-discovery, partnership, and conference model across the Israeli insurance market.

Others

• Yıldız Kuluçka / Yıldız Technopark: Incubation center and technopark that hosts Insurtech Hub's accelerator program in Istanbul. Comparable as an ecosystem infrastructure provider and key partner enabling Insurtech Hub's startup acceleration; not a direct competitor but a co-ecosystem participant.

Regional players

• Insurtech NY: Regional insurtech community and event organizer serving the New York insurance market with meet-ups, awards-style recognition, and partnership facilitation. Comparable in community- and event-led model, but focused on the U.S. Northeast rather than Turkey.
