The world&#039;s largest accelerator has been operating in Munich since the end of last year. Plug and Play&#039;s decision to choose Munich as its first European location is not only due to the number of insurers based in Bavaria, but also to the positive influence that the InsurTech Hub Munich has on the European startup scene.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&quot;We are pleased to partner with the InsurTech Hub Munich to expand our European presence and support the expansion of our global InsurTechs. Furthermore, we aim to invest more in local startups and support their growth on a global scale,&quot;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>says <strong>Ali Safavi<\/strong>, Global Head of Insurtech at Plug and Play.
