Insurtech Infrastructure Growth Strategic consortium (25 industry shareholders)

Overview

EcoHub AG is an insurtech infrastructure platform serving Swiss insurers, brokers, pension administrators, and software providers. The company operates a centralized digital exchange that enables secure, standardized B2B data communication across the Swiss insurance ecosystem, covering both Life & Annuity and P&C lines.

The platform provides four main service areas: a shared identity and access management (IAM) layer with single sign-on across participating portals, a Standard API Framework (SAF) for automated data interchange between members, a compliance screening service using FINMA registry data, and a document and mandate management application for digital contract workflows. A marketplace connects third-party software solutions with brokers and service providers in the ecosystem.

EcoHub was founded as a joint venture of 25 major Swiss insurance and financial sector organizations. The company's governing body is IG B2B, a non-profit industry association that holds a 30% stake and oversees strategic direction. The platform was built by SELISE Group on Microsoft Azure infrastructure and has scaled to 6,000+ registered users with 5,000-10,000 data exchanges transacted per hour.
