An overview of insurtech regulationin Mauritius and the European Union

Abstract

The insurance sector worldwide is remodelling due
to the emergence of new technologies. The concept of
insurtech is now gaining attention as many insurance
companies are adopting new technologies in their
business activities. Artificial intelligence, big data and
blockchain technology are increasingly being used by
insurance companies. The purpose of this research
is to firstly, analyse how these new technologies are
reshaping the insurance sector. Secondly, the research
provides an overview of the regulation of insurtech in
both Mauritius and the EU. As the insurtech sector is
still at a nascent stage in both jurisdictions, the legal
frameworks developed to regulate it present some
similarities and differences. To conduct this research,
an analysis of the existing literature was done as well as
a black letter analysis of the legal frameworks
