What sets us apart

  • A hub for insurtech and innovation: Generali Switzerland has successfully promoted topics such as open innovation and corp-ups (cooperation between corporations and start-ups) through its Innovation Garage. Since 2019, the Innovation Garage has been operating as an independent company under the name House of Insurtech Switzerland (HITS).
  • We’re taking on the banks: We were the first insurer in Switzerland to launch a completely digital and flexible pension product – our digital pillar 3a.
  • Everything from a single source: Thanks to our sales cooperation with ÖKK, we also offer our customers health insurance.
  • “Diamond” status for our IT: In 2019, we received the Diamond Star IT Innovation Award for our state-of-the-art Connection Platform. IT integration is a core competence in the area of technology. Diversity and openness towards external partners and emerging start-ups are essential for the success of a company.
  • Insurance on a daily basis: Our own start-up company LINGS has set up an “on-demand” insurance policy. Items such as camera equipment or bicycles can be insured with a single click. If necessary, for just one day.
  • Whatever drives you. Run for it: Since 2017, Generali has been promoting running. The fastest Swiss marathon runner, Tadesse Abraham, is our brand ambassador. Together, we motivate people to live a healthy and active life.
  • People helping people: We are committed to “The Human Safety Net”, a global movement initiated by the Generali Group to support disadvantaged people. The programmes address a variety of societal challenges, but all share the same objective: to foster human potential.
  • Music for all ages: Music brings people together, knows no linguistic barriers or age limits. It accompanies us through various situations in life – just like we do as an insurance company. We are a partner of the Swiss Music Awards. With our music promotion programme, “Lion Kids by Generali and SMA”, we give children the opportunity to lay the foundation for their personal musical development.
  • We redefine sustainability : In 2021, we launched Tomorrow Invest, a sustainable investment solution. As well as environmental factors, social issues and corporate governance play a key role. The combination of selected trends that will shape the future and a professional ESG risk rating from Sustainalytics makes the product the only one of its kind on the market.
