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.

La Playa is proud to be as Support Supplier of One Nucleus, providing the One Nucleus Insurance Programme.
