The attendees, along with WTW have gone through selection from the past two PNP Insurtech Singapore batches and selected 4 companies for a 30-40 minutes presentation and discussion – Dowsure being one of their top choice.

I’ve attached the current attendee list over email, do keep that confidential.
Looking forward to hearing if you would be able to attend!Best regards,

Dear Zac,
Thanks so much for the email.
I very much appreciate the invitation,it sounds like a great event and a good chance to connect with a group of top Insurers.
Unfortunately, our company will be unable to attend due to the fact that we have no personnel able to attend the meeting in Singapore at this time,
however it would be great if we could arrange another time to get in touch with the Insurers.
Thanks again and hope you have a wonderful weekend.
All the best,
