Working together
to shape the
insurance market of tomorrow
EcoHub is the central platform for the insurance, pension and broker industry. It’s a simple way to manage and gain access to the industry’s key services.
Our vision: for EcoHub to be a central platform for the Swiss insurance, pension and broker industry where you can actively influence services as part of the community
EcoHub offers fundamental services to ensure straightforward communication and a secure data exchange between brokers and insurers. The platform’s services, use and further development are being advanced on an ongoing basis. It is operated by EcoHub AG, a joint venture involving 25 shareholders, with the vision of making the EcoHub platform the central home of Swiss insurance in the future. Initially managed by IG B2B, the platform is being refined and expanded as an organisation under private law with a broad-based group of shareholders. EcoHub AG’s next phase of development includes establishing an open community and marketplace for third-party services, thereby laying the necessary foundations for the subsequent digitalisation of Switzerland’s insurance and broker industry.
Why EcoHub?
The digitalisation of the Swiss insurance market offers tremendous opportunities for everyone involved. But it doesn’t come without risk. A lack of resources and knowledge can slow down the process, and the investment risk is high for individual companies. EcoHub allows us to consolidate the industry’s strengths and to march together, as equal partners, towards a digital future.
Everyone can benefit:
- EcoHub offers market players simplified access to the latest technologies and services.
- Market players can take advantage of the opportunities of digitalisation in a way that’s right for them while saving design costs.
- Having access to other companies’ digital services enables market players to focus more energy and time on their core business.
- Market players offering their own digital services on EcoHub can gain access to a new source of revenue.
For insurers
Easily incorporate existing, field-tested digital services into your business while devoting your attention to what really matters.
For brokers
EcoHub offers access to a wide range of digital services that are constantly being refined. These services can be integrated into your current processes quickly, easily and at a reasonable cost.
For software manufacturers
On EcoHub, you’ll become part of an effective digital ecosystem where you can develop your own solutions further and offer them to the market. EcoHub also facilitates access to your clients, allowing you to reach a wider audience through just one platform.
