2016 Innovation Award winners recognized

The 2016 Business Insurance Innovation Awards recognize the best new products and services for risk managers launched over the past year. The awards program, which started in 2010, was established to showcase innovative solutions that service providers are offering to solve problems faced by risk managers.

All of the nominations were reviewed by an independent panel of judges composed of professional risk managers, and the 10 highest-scoring nominations were selected for the 2016 Innovation Awards, which will be presented during the Business Insurance Risk Management Summit, to be held March 22-23 in New York.

The winning entries range from insurance coverage for data breach risks to robotics to apps and dashboards to help manage and assess property risks.

The nomination process for the 2017 Innovation Awards will begin in the fall.
