Innovation
Fully transparent, not-for-profit applied research projects that evolve and enhance catastrophe risk management
Research
Maximum Information's Innovation arm focuses on developing research that will drive forward the evolution of catastrophe risk management.
We believe that open-source, transparent and easily comprehensible baselines and methodologies are an essential prerequisite for societies to fulfill their potential for creating cost-effective and sustainable risk-resilience solutions.
While achieving full baseline and methodology transparency can be challenging in privatised risk markets, we attempt to alleviate the problem by producing our own baselines and methodologies here, in a completely accessible transparent manner, developed through inter-disciplinary projects and collaborations in both academia and industry.
