As a specialized insurance broker for tech and deep tech companies, we offer tailor-made solutions that meet the specific challenges of this dynamic industry.
The FoodTech sector: innovation with special risks
FoodTech companies are at the interface between the food industry and technology. They develop innovative solutions such as:
- Alternative proteins and cultured meat
- AI-supported food production and processing

- Smart farming and vertical farming
- Blockchain solutions for food safety and transparency

These innovations entail specific risks that require specialized risk management and tailor-made insurance solutions.
Key risk areas for FoodTech companies
1. product liability and food safety
FoodTech companies bear a special responsibility for the safety of their products. Contamination, allergens or unexpected health risks can lead to extensive liability claims.
Our solution: We offer specialized product liability insurance policies that are tailored to the specific requirements of both food and technology companies. These not only cover traditional product risks, but also take into account innovative manufacturing processes and novel ingredients as well as the risk of product recalls. Our international expertise enables us to design insurance cover for different markets - a decisive advantage for expanding food tech companies. Due to the different standards in the food segment in different markets, product liability and recall cost insurance in particular are considered the supreme discipline in the international food industry.
2. intellectual property (IP) and patent protection
Innovative production processes, proprietary algorithms and patented technologies are at the heart of many FoodTech companies. Protecting this intellectual property is business-critical.
Our solution: We offer special IP insurance solutions that cover both the defense of your own patents and protection against third-party claims. Our international partnerships provide worldwide protection for globally active food tech companies.
3. cyber and data security
Innovation drivers are increasingly using digital technologies, IoT solutions and data-driven processes. This makes them vulnerable to cyberattacks, data loss and data breaches.
Our solution: Our cyber insurance solutions take into account the specific risks of innovative food companies, including the protection of networked production facilities, sensitive customer data and critical supply chain systems. We offer not only financial protection, but also support with preventive measures and crisis management.
4. business interruption and supply chains
The complex supply chains in the food tech industry are susceptible to disruptions. At the same time, business interruptions can have particularly serious consequences for perishable goods.
Our solution: We develop customized business interruption insurance policies that take into account the specific requirements of the industry. These cover not only traditional risks such as machine damage, but also modern risks such as the interruption of digital services or cloud outages.
5 Regulatory risks
FoodTech companies operate in a complex regulatory environment that is constantly evolving. From the Novel Food Regulation to specific regulations for biotechnologically produced foods - compliance with all regulations is a challenge.
