Adnovum Partnership with Sixfold AI Underwriting

Sixfold is partnering with Adnovum, the Swiss technology and consulting company specializing in secure digital transformation for the insurance industry.

Insurers across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland can now access Sixfold's AI underwriting solution through Adnovum's established insurance transformation offering, with Adnovum's IT delivery teams leading implementation and integration.

This partnership brings globally proven underwriting AI together with deep local delivery expertise, giving DACH insurers a faster, lower-risk path to modernizing underwriting operations.

Why Adnovum

Our mission at Sixfold has been to make AI adoption in insurance faster and more accessible. A big part of achieving that is meeting insurers where they already are, working alongside the partners they already know and trust.

Adnovum brings more than 30 years of experience supporting insurers, reinsurers, brokers, and specialist providers across the insurance value chain. They understand the regulatory landscape, the operational realities, and the relationships that define the DACH market. That foundation is exactly what insurers need when adopting new technology with confidence.

"Europe is a priority market for Sixfold, and the DACH region in particular represents a significant opportunity. Adnovum gives us immediate credibility and reach with insurers who are ready to modernise but need a partner they already trust to lead the way."
— Roger Ferrandis, Head of Partnerships at Sixfold

What Changes for Insurers

Insurers across DACH are working to modernize their underwriting processes, and they're looking for solutions that are proven. They want AI that works at other carriers, and a delivery partner who knows their market.

This partnership gives them both. Carriers and MGAs across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland can now:

  • Access Sixfold's AI underwriting solution through a regional partner they already know and trust
  • Rely on Adnovum's IT delivery teams to lead implementation and integration
  • Modernize underwriting operations with in-market delivery expertise and regulatory fluency
  • Move from decision to deployment faster, with fewer unknowns and the right local support
"Insurers across DACH are under real pressure to modernise underwriting, and they are looking for solutions that are proven, not experimental. Sixfold already has a track record with some of the world's leading insurers. We can now bring that capability to our clients in this region. That combination of globally proven AI and local delivery is what makes this partnership genuinely compelling."
— Dr. Christian Straube, Head of Industry Insurance at Adnovum
