# Origin — Ōmata

> Born from decades of insurance. Built for what comes next.

Ōmata didn't appear from nowhere. It was created by people who spent years inside the insurance industry — and decided the only way to fix it was to build something entirely new.

## The industry we know

**Group Induver** is one of Belgium's largest insurance brokerage groups — approximately 500 employees, decades of experience, deep roots in the Belgian market. But Group Induver has never been comfortable with the way insurance works.

For years, the group has been pushing against the industry's inertia from the inside. Challenging slow processes, questioning legacy systems, finding better ways to serve clients. But pushing from within a traditional structure has its limits. Some things can't be improved — they need to be rebuilt.

## The decision to build

In 2026, Group Induver made a deliberate choice. Rather than continuing to bolt innovation onto existing operations — the approach that felt too slow, too incremental — the group chose to *ringfence a dedicated AI-first studio* with its own brand, budget, team, and full autonomy.

The logic was simple: the technology is finally here to rethink insurance from the ground up. But you can't do that from inside the same structures. You need a clean slate — protected from legacy constraints, but informed by decades of domain expertise.

> The mandate was clear: build an AI-first insurance studio that operates with startup speed and industry depth. No compromises on either.

## Why Ōmata exists

**Ōmata** — the name means *large stride* in Japanese — was the answer. A studio that combines Group Induver's insurance domain expertise with frontier AI capabilities. Not a lab. Not an experiment. A real product studio with a mandate to ship.

Based in **Gent, Belgium**, Ōmata builds agentic AI products for the insurance industry. Products that don't just assist humans but handle real workflows autonomously. Products that turn complexity into clarity. Products that treat AI as the foundation, not a feature.

The macron on the Ō is intentional — a small design detail that signals precision and care. The same precision we bring to everything we build.

## What makes this different

Most insurtech companies are outsiders trying to learn insurance. Ōmata is the opposite: *insurance insiders who chose to build with AI from day one*. We understand IDD compliance, GDPR implications, regulatory complexity, and the real-world messiness of insurance — because we lived it.

And most innovation efforts inside large companies are window dressing. Ōmata is structurally different: ringfenced with dedicated budget and team, free to make its own technology choices, hire its own people, and ship on its own timeline.

Group Induver provides the domain. Ōmata provides the ambition. The combination is what makes this work.

## The path to Ōmata
