“InsurTech. The NAIC says that there are 1,500 startups in the works and Kentucky’s DOI has the first ‘sandbox’ for regulatory innovation. I look for some marriage of parametric/ILS products for consumers—or, at least, much smaller organizations. There is a wonderful opportunity for this in the private flood market.”

“I am anticipating an increase in miscellaneous professional liability E&O claims in connection with the growth of the 3D printing industry. The 3D design is the blueprint for the future product, thus designers have a risk of liability in the event of a recall of unsafe products.”
