The Digital Insurer – Connecting to China through WeChat

We are pleased to announce that we have recently started to publish some of our content in Chinese and English via WeChat to achieve our goal to grow a community of Digital Insurance professionals within China. We believe China is a key Insurance market, not only by size (in 2015, it became the third largest insurance market with a GWP of US $370 billion⁽¹⁾) but also in terms of its willingness to embrace and pioneer digital innovation – think Zhong An and Ping An.

In partnership with KPMG, we have started by making our Digital Insurance in Action content available in Chinese and English through WeChat, China’s largest social messaging platform. You can now read about companies from around the globe such as Trov, Discovery Health and Connexions Asia and their digital efforts in both English and Chinese.

我们很荣幸地宣布，Digital Insurance已经正式开始在微信平台上发布中英文双语的内容了。以拓展中国的数字保险社区作为使命，我们认识到中国保险市场在保险行业中的的重要地位，我们不仅经历了中国市场的规模成长（2015年，中国已经成为世界第三大保险市场，总保费达到3700亿美元），更见证了其勇于革新的精神——众安与平安就是其中的先驱者。

携手我们的合作伙伴毕马威，我们已在微信平台上发布了保险业数字化转型的双语专题栏目。广大读者可以在专栏中发掘世界各地保险公司的数字化转型故事：例如来自美国的Trov，来自南非的Discovery Health， 以及扎根亚洲的ConneXions Asia。

Hugh Terry, the founder of The Digital Insurer commented, “We believe that China and the broader APAC region will be the “crucible” for much of the innovation in insurance over the next few years. With this WeChat service we are looking to increase our community in China and engage with people who are passionate about the potential to transform the insurance industry. As part of our global mission to become the best place to go for information on digital insurance we are also planning to further increase our coverage of digital insurance in China which will be of enormous interest around the world.”

TDI 的创始人Hugh Terry先生曾说过“我们坚信中国和亚太区将成为保险业革新的‘激情年代’。微信平台将我们与立志于为保险业带来革新的先行者们凝聚到一起。肩负着成为全球最好数字保险媒体的使命，TDI亦将遵循国际趋势，在中国不断拓展足迹。”

Raymond Cheong, KPMG Partner, also commented on the launch of TDI on Wechat:

“The latest developments in “Digital Insurance”  look encouraging in China as many insurance providers have come to realise that digital transformation has the potential to impact almost every part of the insurance value chain in the last 12 months.

We foresee the “insurer of the future” needs to adapt to “Digitalization trends”  in order to remain competitive, stay relevant for its customers, accountable to its stakeholders and create value for its investors.”

毕马威合伙人张峻铭先生对TDI数险家在微信的发布表示，“数字保险在中国的近况着实令人十分兴奋，众多保险公司已经见证了保险业数字化转型在最近12个月对价值链上每一个环节所产生的影响。保险业的未来领导者将是数字保险浪潮中的弄潮儿，他们将最大程度发挥自己的竞争力，时刻与客户紧密联系，承担起对社会的责任，并为其投资者创造价值”。

We currently have a small number of articles available in WeChat (listed below) which are grouped into a number of digital categories. Our plan is to organically build the content over a period of time by regularly releasing new content into the account on a weekly basis. Over the coming months, we also plan to introduce other relevant areas of content such as our InsurTech newsletters and Thought Leadership articles.

现在，在微信平台上我们已经按类别发布了若干文章。在未来的每一周，我们会不断向其中注入新鲜的内容。几个月后，我们还会陆续推出例如InsurTech通讯及行业洞察刊物。
