InsurTech Israel and the Global InsurTech Program have been recognized by BFSI Insider as the Best InsurTech Accelerator in the World for 2026, marking international recognition for a model that was built in Israel and has evolved into a global insurance innovation platform.
The programs connect innovative startups and technologies with leading insurance companies and industry organizations, with a clear focus on turning innovation into practical solutions, business opportunities, and collaborations that create real impact across the global insurance industry.
A key part of the programs’ success is the long-term collaboration with leading partners in Israel, including Migdal Insurance, Direct Insurance, AIG Israel, Milliman, Sapiens, PassportCard, Gross Orad Schlimoff Law Firm, and Aon Reinsurance Israel. These partners play an active role in the ecosystem, working with startups and helping connect Israeli innovation with the needs and opportunities of the global insurance industry.
Alongside its strong Israeli foundation, InsurTech Israel has built an extensive international network of strategic partners, including SOMPO Digital Lab, IAG Firemark Ventures, McDermott Will & Schulte, BrokerTech Ventures, Unum, SIGNAL IDUNA, Seguros El Roble, and Seguros G&T, together with its international innovation hubs and programs around the world.
“This award is first and foremost a shared achievement with our partners,” said Kobi Bendelak, Founder and CEO of InsurTech Israel. “The companies that have worked alongside us in Israel and around the world are an integral part of what we have built. Together, we have created an ecosystem that connects Israeli innovation with the global insurance industry — not just to talk about innovation, but to create business, implement new technologies, and change the way the insurance industry operates.”
The recognition covers both the InsurTech Israel Accelerator and the Global InsurTech Program, reflecting the evolution of the initiative from an accelerator born in Israel into a global ecosystem connecting startups, insurers, technology companies, and strategic partners across major insurance markets worldwide.
The award marks another milestone in InsurTech Israel’s broader vision: to build a global ecosystem for insurance innovation, where knowledge, technology, and business opportunities cross borders and help shape the future of the global insurance industry.
