We’re excited to announce a new partnership between alkazar and nettle. Through this collaboration, alkazar’s UrClimate Score natural catastrophe exposure data is now directly available within the nettle platform - combining nettle’s AI-powered enrichment with alkazar’s high-resolution hazard insights across Turkey, the UK, and Germany.
This integration enables insurers to instantly understand NatCat exposures for any commercial property assessed through nettle, bringing a new level of speed and clarity to risk selection and underwriting.
