Cork firm Blink eyes green shoots of travel recovery

With travel insurance worth more than digital music, insurtech finds niche in real-time claims resolution

Peter Bermingham: 'We are learning to pre-empt events and reduce the impact and cost of events. This reduces the cost of claims to insurers and lowers cost of premiums for consumers.'

Covid-19 has wreaked havoc on the travel industry world-wide and has been a double-edged sword for Blink Parametric’s flight disruption solution, according to CTO Peter Bermingham. 

“We were already well on track to support 3m policy holders availing of Blink Travel through our insurance partners by the end of 2020, and opportunity for our offering is always optimised when the travelling public is moving for either business or leisure," he says.
