Innovate to Insure



Millennials! For the first time ever you have the opportunity to revolutionize the insurance industry with innovative concepts, solutions, and technologies that best meet your needs.

Market research reveals that Hong Kong millennials have a strong saving and protection mindset, but de facto lower ownership of insurance. They likely think that it is too early for them to consider insurance as they are in good health with financial support from their families. 

To achieve a preferential mindset amongst Hong Kong young people requires the brand to differentiate itself from the competition. This should resonate with the outlook and lifestyle of the millennial market. Millennials are experts at juggling both online and offline touchpoints for the best advice. A careful balance of the right content via the right channel is key.

AXA Hong Kong aspires to offer simple and personalized offerings to address the uninsured millennials – ‘protect the unprotected’. Therefore, we are keen to increase the relevance of insurance among millennials, helping them understand that they can enjoy lower premiums and a longer term of protection if the purchase is made at an early stage.   

We are looking for your innovative solutions and partnerships on how to increase the purchase intent of the young generation towards insurance, specifically those aged under 25 who have just entered the job market.

Shape your project containing a thorough plan with competitive analysis, suggested solution(s), financial forecast, distribution model/channels and customer acquisition strategies including market communication strategies and contact points – plus any other relevant ideas or proposals that appeal to the young generation.
