Portfolio company Sensely, a U.S. startup that has created avatar and chatbot-based platforms to assist insurance plan members and patients with insurance services and healthcare resources, has been selected for the next batch of Plug and Play’s Insurtech program in Japan.

The accelerator program seeks to introduce promising Insurtech companies to corporate partners such as Hitachi, Mitsubishi, and Nissan.

With customers and investors such as Rakuten, Nippon Life, and Aflac, Japan has clearly emerged as a highly strategic market for Sensely.
