This marks the **fourth consecutive year** that [InsuredHQ](https://insuredhq.com) has been recognized in this program, which spans Asia, Australia and New Zealand and highlights the insurers, MGAs, brokers and service providers moving the industry forward. ![](https://blog.insuredhq.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2026%205-Star%20Insurance%20Innovations-png.png?width=2250&height=2250&name=2026%205-Star%20Insurance%20Innovations-png.png) ## What the award recognises Insurance Business's [5-Star Insurance Innovators report](https://www.insurancebusinessmag.com/au/best-insurance/5star-insurance-innovations-products-and-leaders-in-asiapacific-588470.aspx) recognises 25 insurance organisations across Asia-Pacific for meaningful innovation introduced during the 2025 calendar year, whether through new technology, new products, or new distribution strategies. The 2026 cohort includes global and regional names such as Allianz, CFC, Gallagher, Gallagher Bassett, Tower, Sedgwick, Xceedance, FreightInsure, Kanopi, Elders Insurance, National Transport Insurance and Insurance Advisernet, among others. Nominations were submitted from May 2026 and assessed by the Insurance Business editorial team for detailed information, true innovation and proven success, benchmarked against the wider field of entries. ## This year's theme: from pilots to scale The 2026 report has a clear thread running through it. Insurance innovation across Asia-Pacific has moved out of the pilot phase and into the operating core of the business. According to the report, half of this year's recognised innovators invested 31% or more of their 2025 budget in new technology, and the winning initiatives are consistently ones that embedded new capability into day-to-day operations rather than running it as a trial on the side. That shift matches what we see with our own customers. The platforms, workflows and AI capabilities that move the needle are the ones built into the core system where policy, billing, claims, accounting and documents already live. That has always been the way we build at IHQ, and it is a privilege to be recognised alongside such a strong group of innovators doing the same. ## Thank you Awards like this reflect the work of the customers who choose IHQ, the brokers and underwriters who use the platform every day, and the IHQ team who build and support it. Four years of consecutive recognition is not a solo effort, and we are grateful to everyone who has been part of it. Particular thanks to our customers across New Zealand, Australia and the wider Pacific who have pushed us, challenged us, and trusted us with mission-critical operations through the year.
