Hokan Group Establishes 'hal (hokan advanced lab)'

Hokan Group, aiming to become an 'Industry Contributor' through the trinity of technology, solutions, and creativity, has announced the establishment of 'hal (hokan advanced lab),' a D&R (Discover & Research) and emergent research institution exploring longevity, well-being, and new risks. The group is a pure holding company comprising 'hokan,' which develops cloud-based CRM for the insurance industry; 'CIEN,' which provides professional services; and 'Frich,' which offers new compensation design platforms. Nine years after founding hokan, the group recognizes new areas requiring attention, such as changes in life planning due to aging, emerging risks like AI and cyber threats that traditional actuarial science cannot fully capture, and expansion into non-insurance domains. To address these next-generation social issues, hal will gather experts from insurance, finance, medicine, technology, and academia to publish research reports, host forums, and operate expert communities, aiming to implement findings back into the insurance industry.
