Welcome back to The Insurtech Show – where we explore the intersection of insurance and technology. Today’s episode is titled “Tech, Talent and Timezones,” and we’re thrilled to be shining a spotlight on a hidden gem in the insurtech world – the State of Ohio.

We’ll also be joined by representatives from JobsOhio and the Ohio Department of Insurance, who will shed light on the state’s business-friendly policies and supportive ecosystem.
