What does innovation really mean in the traditional industry of insurance? 

In the second episode of ‘Empowering Innovators’ Patrick de Zeeuw speaks with Ron van Oijen, CEO of Vivat, a Dutch insurer that consists of a large number of well-known insurance brands.

Patrick and Ron discuss innovation in the traditional industry of insurance and dive deeper into what innovation means for an insurance company. They are discussing:
- What are some of the challenges he has faced in the last few years, bringing innovation into the company? 
- How do you disrupt an industry such as insurance, where factors such as compliance and regulations come into play?

Last year, Vivat opened the Vivat Innovation Center (Vince) next to the Startupbootcamp headquarters in Amsterdam and in this interview Ron also shares his biggest takeaways thus far, with regards to the topic of collaboration (from a corporate perspective) with startups.
