Running in more than 20 countries worldwide, the Championship is looking for start-ups in the fields of mobility, smart homes and buildings, digital health and financial planning, plus there is a 'wild card' category. Another aim of the competition is to encourage Zurich globally to collaborate with entrepreneurs in the insurtech industry.
The closing date for start-ups to apply is October 21, 2018. Entries are through the Zurich Innovation World Championship webpage.

The winners of the North America, Latin America, Europe and Middle East and Asia Pacific regional rounds will then take part in a final global competition. The final round will take place in February 2019, with the bronze, silver and gold winners each receiving the resources to implement a pilot programme with Zurich customers.
