Verena Brenner, Founder: HDI TH!NX: Insurer-led innovation (296)

HDI TH!NX was founded in 2019 by Verena Brenner, initially operating within the German insurer HDI Global, as an incubator for IIoT solutions. 

Now providing software to support risk management applications for insurers and insurance clients, tune in to hear Verena discuss the mechanics behind founding a startup within an insurer and the company’s development in providing varying solutions for their customers.

• The centrality of the customer
• Advice for launching a startup - innovation is not a hobby
