Nanotechnology Insurance
Insuring micro and nano scale technologies
The nanotechnology industry is forcing a paradigm shift in the way in which risk is assessed, managed and insured. But the sector is poorly understood by the majority of insurance companies and brokers, making it difficult for companies to connect with the right advice.
Working in this exciting sector involves unusual risk in areas of product liability as well as environmental and occupational health & safety. These risks can be indeterminate and are constantly evolving - often leaving you uncomfortably exposed.
There are no off-the-shelf insurance solutions for micro and nano technologies, so accessing expert advice is a prerequisite. And early identification of insurable risks can positively impact on the commercial potential of your work. Does your broker know his CNTs from his quantum dots, or his TEM from his SEM?
La Playa takes the time to understand your enterprise and the myriad risks it faces. As an active member of the Institute for Nanotechnology, we take an interest in the insurance challenges facing companies working in this space, helping them to build tailored insurance solutions that protect IP, staff, investors, income streams and liabilities.
We have created successful insurance programmes for nanotechnologists that span:
- Asset Protection - including digital assets, R&D property and stock in controlled environments
- Business Interruption insurance insuring income streams
- Public, Product and Employers’ Liability - critical defence against allegations of negligence
- Technology Errors & Omissions Liability - including breach of contract allegations
- Intellectual Property Insurance - protecting the fruits of your invention & innovation
- Directors’ & Officers’ Liability - must-have protection for managers
- Environmental Liability - protection from liability & clean-up costs
- Business Travel & Personal Accident - valuable cover for staff on the move
- Keyperson & Employee Benefits - helping to attract & retain top talent
