Innovation

Fully transparent, open-access applied research projects that evolve and enhance catastrophe risk management

Research

Maximum Information's Innovation arm develops cutting-edge research that drives forward the evolution of catastrophe risk management.

We believe openly accessible and easily comprehensible baselines and methodologies are key to building cost-effective and sustainable solutions for societal risk-resilience.

While achieving full baseline and methodology transparency can be challenging in privatised risk markets, we strive to alleviate the problem by producing our own baselines and methodologies, developed through inter-disciplinary projects and collaborations in both academia and industry.
