Could Canada replicate the Slide model?
While Slide’s success has reinvigorated conversations about innovation in challenging geographies, brokers and analysts alike caution against assuming easy replication in other markets. Travis Jones, a broker at Thor Insurance, echoed that sentiment from Alberta: “Property insurance regulation right now is this struggling industry. So it seems to have stopped some of the insurance tech that was happening three, four years ago. So it seems more insurance companies are kind of getting back to the basics. How do we turn this line of business around to be profitable again?”
