New Slipcase data shows platform interactions rose 54% in 2024, as professionals turn to trusted digital intelligence to navigate geopolitical, economic and climate uncertainty. Slipcase launches its 3.0 platform to meet the demand.
LONDON, 14 January 2025 – The risk and re/insurance industry saw a significant rise in the use of digital news and market intelligence over the past year, according to new data from Slipcase, the contextual intelligence platform for the global re/insurance industry. Total platform interactions rose 54% in 2024, showing that professionals are relying on digital information more than ever in their daily work. The rise comes against a backdrop of heightened global volatility, driven by geopolitical tensions, economic change and the impact of climate change.
Risk, insurance and reinsurance professionals have a growing appetite for high-quality digital information to support effective decision-making. Accurate, relevant intelligence is now essential for keeping a competitive edge and staying informed about the wider industry context.
Yet the online ecosystem where professionals find information is becoming more fragmented and complex. Recent reports from the World Economic Forum predict that 2025 will see an escalation in geopolitical risks, with conflicts, inflationary pressures and extreme weather events expected to further disrupt global markets. As the re/insurance sector adapts quickly to manage risks and seize opportunities, professionals need the right intelligence at their fingertips to build their skills and support their decisions.
Advances from re/insurance technology companies such as Slipcase, together with the quality of the industry’s publishers, mean most insurers and industry professionals can now access near real-time information, market data and specialist insight from the most respected sources inside and outside the industry, all in one place.
As of January 2025, more than 100 organisations are actively producing content distributed across Slipcase, a 52% increase on the previous year. They include leading names in commercial re/insurance such as Lloyd’s of London, Gallagher, WTW, Travelers and AXA, as well as publications including Business Insurance, Insurance Journal, Artemis and Insurance Insider.
With risks becoming more interconnected and unpredictable, demand for accurate, up-to-date information is accelerating across the global industry. This makes the work of trusted publishers and technology platforms critical to keeping quality information flowing throughout the re/insurance ecosystem.
Slipcase 3.0
To meet this demand, Slipcase has launched its new 3.0 platform, designed to help risk and re/insurance professionals curate their own information landscape around the topics they need to follow.
Slipcase 3.0 gives users a personalised dashboard with a simplified view of the latest news and content related to their specialty. It offers a shortcut to the day’s top recommended articles, helping professionals discover high-quality, relevant content every day.
The new Meeting Planner feature helps users go into every meeting fully informed. It generates digital briefs with links to the latest relevant information, including market developments, company news and niche specialty content.
Alex Hearn, CEO of Slipcase, said: “Analysing Slipcase’s latest annual data has painted a clear picture; the requirement to stay informed via digital information has shifted into the next gear. With the pushback on fact-checking programmes and an increasing volatility of the world in general, the search for reliable information is more complex, but more critical than ever. This acceleration is clearly represented in Slipcase’s data, with total interactions on Slipcase growing by 54% in 2024, alongside our onboarded partner organisation growth of 52% compared to the same time last year.
“It isn’t just purely about building relationships anymore; it’s also about embracing digital tools as AI technologies accelerate change. It is critical for employers to invest in upskilling to stay relevant.
“These changes are also exciting for marketing leaders, who have more powerful tools than ever at their fingertips, allowing their organisations to reach specific audiences and measure those interactions in detail. We designed our new platform to cater for this evolving appetite, and are very excited for the next chapter in the journey.”
