insurtech and supply chain risk
A South Korean supply chain tech company joined a prestigious insurance innovation program in London to help insurers price shipping risks better. Investors care because this bridges the gap between shipping data and insurance, creating new ways to manage and profit from supply chain safety.
What changed
Willog entered Lloyd's Lab Cohort 17 as the first Korean firm, linking real-time cargo monitoring to insurance underwriting.
