Emerging Technologies

VendorMatch

Emerging technologies are technologies whose development and/or practical applications are still largely unrealized. These technologies are generally new but also include older technologies that are still controversial and relatively undeveloped in potential. Emerging technologies are often perceived as capable of changing the status quo.

3D Printing

Find 3D printing vendors on our financial technology solutions research platform. Use the directory for vendor discovery and use our guide to compare and evaluate 3D printing providers. Our directory will help you identify and analyze vendors that offer processes in which material is joined or solidified under computer control to create a three-dimensional object, with material being added together, typically layer by layer.
Blockchain

Blockchains are decentralized peer-to-peer networks where each participant maintains a copy of a ledger which is replicated and synchronized across members of the network. No central authority maintains or controls the ledger but rather updates are managed through a consensus protocol. The approach to managing consensus is the core driver of the distinction between permissionless and permissioned blockchains.
Drone Services

Drone services allow the insurer or other entity to contract the provider to direct the drone for aerial photography, videography, mapping, and data collection. Use Celent's VendorMatch directory to identify vendors who offer drone services.
Drone Sourced Data

Find drone source data providers listed on our vendor directory. Use our research platform to compare vendors providing drone sourced data through analysis and comparison. Drone sourced data allows for the collection and analysis of geospatial data through aerial photography, videography, mapping & data collection. It helps professionals in surveying, agriculture, engineering and humanitarian aid to make better and faster decisions.
Genomics

Use the directory for vendor discovery and use our guide to compare and evaluate genomics technology providers. Our directory will help you identify and analyze vendors that offer genetics based technologies, tests or data that can be used in the insurance process.
Internet of Things (IOT) Data and Devices

Internet of Things (IOT) includes the devices and data from consumer connected devices such as smart TVs, smart speakers, connected homes, connected cars and smart appliances. Smart meters, commercial security systems and smart city technologies -- such as those used to monitor traffic and weather conditions -- are examples of industrial and enterprise IoT devices. Use our vendor directory to identify IoT vendors. Compare and contrast their products and services using the comparison tools provided by the platform. Use the directory to short list vendors.
Smart Materials

Find smart materials vendors on our financial technology solutions research platform. Use the directory for vendor discovery and use our guide to compare and evaluate smart materials providers. Our directory will help you identify and analyze vendors that offer smart materials. Smart materials have properties that react to changes in their environment such as temperature, light, pressure or electricity. This change is reversible and can be repeated many times.
Wearable Devices

Wearables are smart electronic devices (electronic device with micro-controllers) that can be incorporated into clothing or worn on the body as implants or accessories. Wearables can be used to gather underwriting information or for risk control. Use our vendor directory to identify wearable solutions and their providers. Use the comparison tools to analyze and compare the vendors to help with shortlisting.
