WASHINGTON, June 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TechAssure, a global alliance of insurance professionals specializing in complex and emerging risks, has welcomed Berkley Technology Underwriters (BTU) and Berkley Europe as an Industry Partner.

The partnership brings together TechAssure's specialist brokers with BTU's and Berkley Europe's underwriting focus in the technology sector, strengthening the group's ability to address increasingly complex exposures across innovation-driven businesses.

"Berkley Technology Underwriters and Berkley Europe bring a level of focus that aligns well with how our members approach complex technology risk," said Weren De Vliegher, Executive Director of TechAssure. "As technology continues to outpace traditional underwriting models, what matters is having underwriting perspective that reflects how these exposures are actually showing up in real placements, not just how they're expected to behave."

"TechAssure brings together a network of brokers who are deeply engaged in the realities of technology risk, not just the theory of it," said Joel Zylstra, Chief Claims Officer and BTU executive sponsor. "At Berkley Technology Underwriters, we see firsthand through our claims experience how these risks evolve in real time. This partnership creates a more direct connection between what is being placed, how those risks perform, and how we adapt our underwriting and claims approach to support our clients. On behalf of both Berkley Technology Underwriters and Berkley Europe, we're excited to collaborate with TechAssure members to deliver solutions that reflect how technology risk actually behaves in today's market."

The partnership formalizes a closer alignment between underwriting and the realities being seen across complex technology placements, creating a more consistent exchange of insight as new risks emerge and client needs continue to shift.
