Generali: creating new futures around the world

Present in over 50 countries and with 68 million customers, it’s critical for Generali to access the latest and most comprehensive intelligence on market trends and connect with the leading innovators around the world. 

The Sønr platform was selected as Generali’s market intelligence partner in 2021 and over the years we have been working closely to support a breadth of areas – from global scouting to running startup pitch events.

“Thanks to Sønr’s tailor-made approach and professionalism, they became more than a 'simple' platform provider to us - they became a true partner to rely on. Over the years we've built a trusted relationship, which has led to a solid creative partnership extending to a whole range of services and collaborations where we gain reciprocal inspiration.

We love working with the folks at Sønr, truly the best of the best! ”

Accelerating Generali’s global innovation activity

Generali are born and bread innovators. They think big, experiment continuously and employ some of the greatest innovators we’ve had the privilege to work with.

A summary of the stages we proposed to Generali during the pilot phase.

Choosing Sønr for unmatched innovation scouting

Generali was looking for a partner who could provide a single source of market and innovation intelligence. It was critical that the coverage was comprehensive, truly global, covered super early stage startups through to more mature companies, and was backed by a team that had a depth of insurance understanding which could provide additional support. 

After running a group-wide PoC, Generali identified Sønr as the ideal platform to supercharge its global scouting activity and ensure it remains at the forefront of innovation.
