Heirs Insurance Recognized for AI-Driven Inclusion

Heirs Insurance Group has been honored with the Africa Sustainable Futures Award for its innovative use of digital technology to expand insurance coverage in Nigeria. The recognition highlights the increasing impact of technology in enhancing financial protection for underserved communities.
The Nigerian insurance group's technology-driven initiatives have extended insurance access to over three million individuals. These efforts leverage artificial intelligence, mobile applications, USSD services, and digital distribution channels to reach populations previously excluded from formal insurance services.
At the core of the initiative is Prince AI, Nigeria’s first multilingual generative artificial intelligence insurance assistant. The Group describes this tool as a key component in its strategy to improve insurance accessibility and inclusivity.
