Hedvig is a digital insurance provider focused on homeowners, renters, and students, offering policies that cover home contents, accidents, and optional extras like dental injuries and bicycle crashes through an easy-to-use app. The product works by collecting premiums and allocating 75% toward covering claims while the remaining 25% funds service improvements; any end-of-year surplus is donated to WeShelter to support homelessness initiatives in Denmark. The company earns a fixed percentage of premiums, so profits aren’t tied to denying claims, and customers can file claims, manage policies, and get instant help from a dedicated support team within the app. Compared with traditional insurers, Hedvig emphasizes transparent use of funds and direct customer support, plus a social impact component through WeShelter. Its goal is to provide simple, fair, and accessible insurance that protects customers’ belongings and lives while directing a portion of profits to social good.

Hedvig and Upptec launch partnership to simplify claims management. a partnership focused on the automation of property claims Hedvig Insurance and Upptec are launching a partnership focused on the automation of property claims with a shared goal: to simplify claims management for Hedvig's members and make the process even more efficient, from filing the claim to payout. A smoother experience, every step of the way. Claims are never fun. But the process around them doesn't have to be complicated. Together with Upptec, Hedvig is creating a cohesive workflow where information, attachments and assessments are integrated into a single process without unnecessary steps or waiting times. Upptec specializes in managing content claims using modern technology, AI-assisted solutions and an advanced database. The collaboration between Hedvig and Upptec will ensure that all information, attachments, and assessments related to content claims are handled within the same process without unnecessary steps or waiting times. Small claims are handled directly in the app, while medium-sized claims are resolved via an AI-supported customer link that guides the member through the information-gathering process. The result is fewer steps, shorter lead times, and an experience that feels secure and personal even when the entire process takes place digitally with the insurance in your pocket. "We know that the path to customer satisfaction lies in quick responses and a claims handling process that is as seamless as possible. When it comes to quickly and easily automating property claims, Upptec is the market leader so it feels absolutely right that we are now integrating this component into our own technology platform," says Robert Collin, Chief Service & Claims Officer at Hedvig Insurance. More time for what requires human expertise. When simpler cases can largely be handled through automation, time is freed up for what is genuinely complex. This means that claims adjusters can focus where it's truly needed - on you as a member and on the cases that require careful consideration and human judgment. As a member, this means insurance that delivers when it really matters most. "The future of insurance is determined in the moments that truly matter. When something breaks or is lost and the customer needs real help. Hedvig and Upptec share the view that precisely that moment should be as painless as possible. I am incredibly excited about the future we are building together and about innovating alongside Hedvig" says Andreas Martin, Chief Executive Officer, Upptec About hedvig.
