Verisk, a data analytics provider for the insurance and energy industry, has signed a deal to buy Swedish insurtech Mavera for an undisclosed sum.
Founded in 2008, Mavera operates a data-driven personal injury claims management platform.
The platform uses data and medical knowledge from its network of advisers throughout the Nordic region to simplify the assessment of claims and decision-making.
For Verisk, the transaction is aimed at supporting its expansion in Continental Europe and its growth as a technology and analytics partner for the insurance industry.
The technology, capabilities, and accessibility to medical knowledge offered by Mavera are a highly complementary fit with the Verisk ecosystem of personal injury and claims solutions, the US-based firm noted.
Last year, Verisk made a move to buy ACTINEO, which offers digitalisation and medical assessment of personal injury claims in Germany and Austria.
