Mapfre Acquires 38.9% Stake in Spanish Insurtech Company Tuio
Spanish insurance company Mapfre (MAP.MC) has agreed to acquire a 38.9% stake in digital insurer Tuio, which was founded in Spain in 2021 and operates exclusively domestically for now. The investment will be used by Tuio to support its international expansion plans set to begin next year across Europe and Latin America—regions where Mapfre already has operations. The deal involves a share purchase from existing shareholders followed by participation in a capital increase, though financial terms were not disclosed. Mapfre highlighted that the partnership would accelerate technological innovation at Tuio, which is noted for its use of agentic AI and integration with ChatGPT—making it the first insurtech to fully integrate into the platform. The investment aligns Mapfre's strategy toward more agile distribution models while leveraging digital tools. Separately, Mapfre Re appointed Fernando Utrilla Agüero as chief financial officer in April 2026, succeeding Daniel Quermia.
