The IMA Group Innovation Strategy
IMA Benelux’s innovation strategy is fully integrated in that of the IMA Group
Innovation and Investment
By creating a structure dedicated to experimentation and innovation, as well as a development fund, the IMA Group aims to create new business models in order to offer a simpler, optimised experience, enhanced with new services.Data and the information system
Essential to a successful client experience, the use of data and our information system bring us into our shareholders’ and partners’ digital world to offer seamless client journeys.
The IMA L@b: touching, testing and understanding
Touching: to explore the future and identify potential uses linked to assistance and services, the l@b is open to everyone, allowing them to learn about and share future technologies and uses.
Testing: to begin to construct future innovations, the IMA Group has created an environment and a structure for rapidly creating MVPs (Minimum Viable Products) to test products’ technical and economic relevance.
Understanding: in addition, a livingl@b open to all group employees allows testing and use of new products and services to facilitate acculturation, ideation and open-innovation.
Open-Innovation
Innovation is nourished by openness
That is why we support and nurture a whole ecosystem, to enhance our products, our services and our tools. As part of our open innovation approach, we have developed partnerships with start-ups such as Pop Valet, Ze Borne, My Jugaad and Spareka. This openness has taken on an even greater dimension with our involvement in the French AssurTech accelerator, in which the IMA Group is one of the co-founders.
A winning innovation strategy!
