AXA Group Operations, GETD and DHP 

In the last years, significant work has been done to digitize AXA’s business model so far. Nevertheless, due to massive technological changes, customers’ expectations and behaviors have evolved significantly. Thus, we are convinced that we must accelerate our technological transformation to achieve our ambition to become an innovative tech-led company. The opportunities offered by data and technologies are massive both for our traditional insurance business and for new services to achieve our Payer to Partner ambition. 

Group Operations sets the tone and must play its role as one of the major catalysts of AXA’s transformation. We are the ones triggering and empowering the evolution of our insurance business model through technology and innovation, driving its concrete implementation globally at speed, with a high quality of advisory and execution. 

Within Group Operations, the Group Emerging Technology & Data (GETD) team explores and scales the value of data and emerging technologies with the potential to disrupt the current insurance business model and to shape future opportunities in order to better partner in our customers’ lives. GETD is having locations in Paris 17th (France), on the EPFL campus in Lausanne (Switzerland), on the NUS campus in Singapore and Stanford campus in San Francisco (USA).  

Within GETD, we have launched in 2020 a strategic partnership with Microsoft to build the Digital Healthcare Platform (DHP) which aims at interconnecting healthcare services to enable hassle-free & personalized customer / patient journeys, leveraging AI and new standards on health data interoperability. DHP is an open platform meant to support a healthcare ecosystem at European level in a 1st step, beyond AXA entities, and even more globally in the future.
