Addenda is a small but ambitious Insurtech startup that is using distributed ledger technology (DLT) to streamline processes between insurance companies. Tailored tasks are reported in real-time on our user friendly interface, and then timestamped as evidence onto the blockchain. This allows network participants to report claim and policy changes in a completely verifiable and encrypted manner.
 
 
We look forward to seeing you there!
