Welcome to Lloyd’s Lab

We’re incredibly proud to have built the Lloyd's Lab. It’s been everything we wanted and more: a jewel in our crown, and a bee in our bonnet – challenging us to embrace new ways of thinking and go further and faster in innovating to insure society’s risks.

John Neal, CEO, Lloyd's

Our mission statement

The Lloyd’s Lab is the heart of innovation for Insurance. An award winning space dedicated to accelerating and fostering new products and solutions fit for the needs of our customers around the world. The Lloyd’s Lab was set up in 2018 to foster ideas which support our market’s shared goal of sharing risk to create a braver world.

Our main programme is an InsurTech accelerator programme which aims to help innovative ideas gain traction and success in our market. Located in the heart of the world’s specialist insurance market, the Lloyd’s Lab gives InsurTechs access to a coworking space in the iconic building and the chance to develop their ideas alongside their target audience.

Since our establishment, the Lloyd's Lab has grown to encompass a diversity of programmes and initiatives, to support insurance innovation at all phases, our support includes our FutureMinds programme, Lloyd's Lab Challenge and our Launchpad Network.
