Welcome to La Playa Science & Technology, insurance gurus for the innovative, emergent and plain disruptive...
Does your insurance broker really ‘get’ what you do you? From IP to IPO, La Playa's specialist Science & Tech team can help you protect your business with smart, flexible, high-performance insurance - with a friendly human UI. We’ve got your back.
We understand the risks and pressures you face - and we speak your language. We’ll support you with great advice - helping you make the best decisions for your business.
Advice you can trust from an expert who understands you:
Tech-based business is 24/7, global and borderless, exposing you to new risks and liabilities - often in unfamiliar places. As the law struggles to keep pace with technology, insurance can provide a real safety net if you fall foul of changing legislation.
As a specialist, La Playa understands the complex risks, tangible and intangible, associated with Life Sciences, ICT, Electronics, Fintech, Cleantech and Nanotechnology - keeping abreast of the shifting sands of emerging risk, regulation, legislation and compliance.
La Playa is proud to be as Support Supplier of One Nucleus, providing the One Nucleus Insurance Programme.
