Howden Ventures

A new platform to fast-track insurance innovation

Howden Ventures launched in October 2023 to create an investment and risk incubator that will fast-track insurance product development. 

The initiative draws expertise and resources from specialist innovation teams across the global insurance market. It includes a world-first delegated underwriting authority, backed by leading Lloyd’s underwriters, that provides £500m of syndicated underwriting capacity to support the development of new insurance solutions. 

Howden Ventures will focus on bringing solutions to new emerging risks in a fast-paced, interconnected world – driven by a changing climate, disruptive technology, macro-economic uncertainty, shifting demographics and geopolitical pressures.
