SYB seminar at Università degli studi di Catania

SYB’s CEO Marco Toja and CTO Mark Phillip Loria, presented SYB to the IT engineering course at Università degli studi di Catania.

The seminar was structured in the following way:

-the first day, held by our CEO, was more focused on the start-up world, on what you need in order to create a start-up and how SYB started.

-The second day, held by our CTO, was more a practical workshop. The students were divided into groups and were given different tasks about a common start-up idea: develop a multi-features wearable device, for the healthcare sector, and launch it on the market. The different departments in which the groups were divided allowed them to develop their idea and have a full and complete picture of what had to be analysed regarding the start of a start-up.

The feedback was extremely positive as well as the level of participation of the students who demonstrated it by several smart and interesting questions.

We thank for this opportunity and for the organization prof. Michele Maugeri, prof. Vincenza Carchiolo and prof. Natalia Trapani.

SYB at Insurance Nexus - Connected Insurance Summit

SYB‘s CEO Marco Toja and COO Federico Capello, attended the Connected Insurance Summit in London to present, pitch and demonstrate the potentiality of the IoT technology applied to insurance and re-insurance industry.

The event, that counted more than 300 innovators, is the perfect place to interact with industry and insurance leaders and understand current market trends.

Our CEO gave a speech (“Data vs. smart data: how to make the change happen in real life” in the “Strategy and innovation” track) about smart data focusing on the idea that thanks to a “white box” architecture insurances can define critical parameters and act as agents of prevention by keeping the risk within the forecasted levels.

A lot of interest emerged during his speech and many questions were raised during the Q&A session where, together with Matthias Soren Wegmuller (Die Mobiliar), Kristen Gronborg (Alm Brand) and Tony Boobier, kept the audience involved and focused about the relevance of the topic.

Given the big success of this edition, the board will surely be attending the Connected Insurance USA Summit in Chicago, next November
