MIS assessments of the major flooding in southeast Spain continue. Sadly, this tragic event has now claimed the lives of over 200 people, with an additional 1,000 soldiers brought in by the Spanish Government to assist with the ongoing rescue efforts. To help clients establish where their in-force properties, policies and portfolios have been impacted by this event, the team have added a Flood Claims Layer to the GEO report. This covers affected areas in the Valencia region where flooding has been confirmed and the probable extent. There are also updates to the Flood Exposure Layer, which highlights more locations across the region that have potentially been flooded.

As we reach the end of another month, we thought we'd reflect on what has been a busy last four weeks for the MIS team. Whilst behind the scenes the team have been incredibly busy informing insurers' responses to both Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton through GEO, we've also been out and about at several industry events both in London and the US. September ended with a trip to the Insurance Council of Texas 2024 State Insurance Trade Association for James Doe and David Heathcote. October then started with The Insurance Network London Market Claims, which was attended by Forbes McKenzie, Oliver Bradburne and Dominique Morizet, as well as James Doe. We also sponsored a session at the event, entitled 'Optimising claims processes through data & analytics', led by Enrico Alessandri from Swiss Re. Then the middle of the month saw Rosina S. and Matthew Patience head to the Mandalay Bay for InsureTech Connect Vegas, marking the final event of a packed few weeks! Before we head into November, there's just a final message we'd like to share that we can only say today: Happy Halloween! 🎃

With 51,017 new tech businesses registered in the UK last year, Britain has emerged as a leader of innovation in Europe. In fact, government data from 2021-2022 positions our country as the second-leading nation for startups, preceded only by the US and potentially, by China 🚀 Behind these figures lies enormous economic potential – something the former government recognised when committing to making us a global tech leader by 2030. And, with critical systems like the NHS central to the current Labour government’s plans relying on such economic growth and technological innovation, it’s vital that these promises are maintained and backed – not only by promises but also by tangible funding and support... 👇 Read more from Forbes McKenzie, founder, and CEO of McKenzie Intelligence Services below 👇 #StartupsMagazine #Startups #Entrepreneur #Budget
