How Diverse Growth Strategies Can Advance Digitalisation in the Insurance Industry

We are delighted to introduce Willis Towers Watson's latest report investigating merger and acquisition (M&A) trends in the insurance sector, carried out in conjunction with Mergermarket, the global proprietary M&A intelligence provider.
