Our centre for futures and research
Our innovation lab
FIREMARK FUTURES
At Firemark Futures, we deep dive into the unknown, searching for information, insights and actions that provide value today and answers about tomorrow.
Who we are
Which is why we continue to increase our storehouse of knowledge, engage with a global network of researchers and ensure the free flow of information, insight and foresight across organisational and geographical boundaries.
Our Capabilities
Insurance is the understanding of risk. And risk rarely stands still. To keep up with its changing shape and consequences we engage with a variety of partners, explore different technologies and employ a number of research methodologies to ensure we cover as many angles of the unknown as possible.
We look to near and far horizons searching for opportunities that align with IAG’s strategic priorities.
We identify specific applications of emerging technologies and the risks they bring to IAG and our customers.
We offer knowledge as an asset and amplify it by articulating our findings through powerful stories.
We partner with academic, industry and government ecosystem players to facilitate learning and the exchange of ideas.
We use research to enable & empower our supply chain so they can develop new products & services, improve quality, lower costs and be more sustainable.
Our work
As a corporate research house, we approach all our projects with the same unapologetic spirit of enquiry and discovery, whether it’s an open examination of possibilities at an industry level or solving supply chain challenges.
We collaborated with USYD, SkedGo and iMOVE Australia to deliver Australia’s first subscription-based Mobility as a Service (MaaS) trial.
This ground breaking trial delivered insights into new ways for consumers to access mobility and insights for businesses seeking to help with transport interruption.
In collaboration with
Cooperative Partnering
we also understand some of the toughest problems require an outside-in specialist approach where we engage with a number of academic partners in different ways:
In collaboration with the UNSW Chair, Professor Dixit, and with a focus on the development of safer, more resilient and better connected communities, we are investigating how people and systems will interact in Smart Cities of the future.
The PhD-in-Residence program enables IAG to explore and develop a deep understanding of pertinent future areas of opportunity and risk by bringing in high quality external talent or supporting the upskilling of internal staff though a PhD Degree.
We love to learn and welcome the chance to collaborate with leading edge academics and researchers who are deeply passionate about their research and can empower us to think differently.
We are constantly on the lookout for potential partners to take our research to the next level.
The Firemark Advantage
Ventures and Labs provide us with the pathways to see our research come to life in the development of many of IAG’s products and services, both in the near future and over the long term.
