Solingen/Cologne, [13.05.2026]
The insurance industry is facing a turning point: while specialist departments are developing innovative business ideas, a shortage of skilled workers, complex legacy systems, and regulatory hurdles such as DORA are often massively slowing down implementation. At this year's insureNXT (20 & 21 May 2026) in Cologne, codecentric AG is presenting a radical breakthrough: the transition from manual software programming to an AI-native high-performance pipeline.
At the heart of the trade fair appearance is a methodological advancement guided by the vision:
"AI Native. Insurance Driven. Zero Bottlenecks."
codecentric is thereby addressing the structural causes of delivery delays in insurance IT. While conventional "assisted coding" offers point-in-time support, this approach relies on an end-to-end pipeline in which AI agents take over tasks such as code generation, testing, and documentation within defined frameworks. The goal is to decouple software creation from personnel capacity constraints and make it sustainably scalable.
Focus on security and scalability
A particular emphasis is placed on the integration of regulatory standards. Through "security by design", compliance is automatically built into the AI-native pipeline. This enables insurers to implement new market requirements in weeks rather than months, without compromising on stability or security.
Rainer Vehns: "From code writer to strategic architect"
This year too, CEO Rainer Vehns will be personally present at the stand to discuss the strategic transformation of the IT value chain with industry decision-makers.
"I'm looking forward to conversations where we can leave behind the 'tinkering' with individual AI tools," says Rainer Vehns, CEO of codecentric AG. "At insureNXT, I want to talk about how we can finally decouple software development from limited staffing capacities. Instead of making isolated corrections, we work together to build the architecture of the future. I'm excited about the exchange with everyone who is ready to evolve their IT from code writer to strategic architect and sustainably resolve the IT bottleneck."
