Chaucer Hosts the First Sønr Summit: Shaping the Future of Insurance Innovation

Chaucer was proud to host the inaugural Sønr Summit at our London offices, a community event designed to create a space for insurers to connect, collaborate, and think differently about innovation.

Event Highlights

The summit brought together industry leaders and innovators for honest, future-focused conversations on the evolving role of innovation in insurance. Discussions explored the rise of AI and embedded solutions, examined how the industry is responding to climate risk, and highlighted the importance of driving operational transformation.

These themes reinforced a key truth: innovation is no longer a side project; it has become an integral part of the everyday fabric of our sector.

A huge thank you to Sønr for their partnership, to all the speakers for sharing such valuable insights, and to everyone who joined us for an inspiring afternoon. Your energy and perspectives made this summit a success.

This was just the beginning. We’re excited to see how these conversations, and the insights from Beyond Boundaries, will shape the next chapter of insurance innovation.

Beyond Boundaries 2025 Report

We were also delighted to feature in the Beyond Boundaries 2025 report, which offers a comprehensive look at how innovation is reshaping insurance. But the conversations at the summit made one thing clear: innovation is no longer a standalone initiative or a future aspiration, it’s becoming part of the everyday DNA of the industry.

As Tom Graham, our Head of Partnerships and Innovation, notes in the report:

This shift reflects a fundamental change in mindset. Insurers are moving beyond pilot projects and isolated experiments to embed innovation into core operations. From leveraging AI and embedded solutions to tackling climate risk and driving operational transformation, innovation is now a continuous, integrated process, essential for staying competitive and delivering value in a rapidly evolving market.
