Berlin, 19.05.2026 – We are delighted to announce that NENNA.AI has been selected for the prestigious "Collaborator Batch 2026" by InsurLab Germany e.V. This admission marks a significant step forward for us and underlines our commitment to shaping the future of AI utilisation in the insurance sector in a secure and data protection-compliant manner.
An important milestone with great potential
Being selected for the Collaborator Batch 2026 is more than just an award. It is a clear sign of NENNA.AI's relevance to one of Germany's most traditional yet innovative industries. Alongside 23 other European startups and scale-ups, NENNA.AI is now working closely with leading insurance companies to develop concrete solutions for the industry's most pressing challenges.
The model is proven: other companies have already shown that the batch approach of "InsurLab Germany" helps startups transition to market readiness and scale. For NENNA.AI, this opens up the opportunity to establish its technology in one of the most highly regulated environments.
InsurLab Germany and the Collaborator Batch #26: A platform for innovation
InsurLab Germany e.V. is the central innovation and transformation platform for the insurance industry in Germany. Founded in Cologne in 2017, it functions as the official InsurTech Hub and connects established insurance companies with innovative startups and scale-ups. The Collaborator Batch #26 is a key programme of this initiative, in which 24 European companies are currently working closely with insurance firms to address specific industry challenges.
The focus areas of this year's batch include fields such as (Gen) AI & Data, Digital Health & Life Insurance, Customer Experience, Tech for Commercial & Industrial Insurers, as well as a wildcard category.
Participation offers NENNA.AI direct access to industry decision-makers and the opportunity to build long-term, scalable partnerships. Successful companies such as Parloa or Cognigy have previously received key growth impulses through this programme.
NENNA.AI: Paving the way for data-secure AI in regulated industries
The mission of NENNA.AI is to enable companies to use leading AI models in a data-secure, legally compliant, and sovereign manner. In regulated sectors like insurance, where data protection and compliance are paramount, this is of crucial importance.
Our solutions offer a central infrastructure for secure AI usage. In doing so, we minimise regulatory risks, protect strategic corporate assets, and reduce expenditure on software and cloud services.
These include:
NENNA Chat: our secure AI platform for company-wide use
NENNA Watch: our browser extension for shadow AI prevention
NENNA Shield: the privacy API for flexible integration into existing infrastructure
By intelligently masking sensitive data before it reaches AI models, we protect intellectual property and personal information from uncontrolled leakage.
This infrastructure enables companies in the insurance industry to provide their employees with all standard AI models such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, or Claude for daily use, while sensitive corporate data is protected through intelligent masking before it ever reaches the models.
Shadow AI in the insurance industry
A central issue that NENNA.AI addresses is "Shadow AI", the uncontrolled and often unconscious use of AI models by employees. Studies show that over 50 percent of companies are confronted with this phenomenon, which carries significant cybersecurity risks. For the insurance industry, this is particularly critical, as personal data, contracts, and sensitive business information are processed daily.
With NENNA.AI, insurers receive a solution that harmonises innovation and security. This is an approach that is indispensable in regulated industries.
Timeline: Collaboration in the batch until December 2026
The Collaborator Batch 2026 runs until 2 December 2026 and aims to generate concrete collaborations between NENNA.AI and insurance companies. Venture clienting is already showing positive developments: a growing network of follow-up discussions and a new level of depth in the exploration phase point towards scalable partnerships. Participating startups gain direct access to decision-makers in the industry and can build long-term business relationships.
The future of AI privacy in insurance
Being admitted to the Collaborator Batch 2026 is an opportunity for NENNA.AI to strengthen our position as the European standard for AI privacy. At the same time, we support the insurance industry in shaping the digital transformation responsibly without having to compromise on the benefits of artificial intelligence.
Through this strategic partnership, NENNA.AI is helping to write the future of a secure and innovative insurance industry.
