Spain is a country of pets: 9.3 million dogs and 5.8 million cats back up this claim. With the aim of meeting the imminent obligation to insure dogs, established by the Animal Welfare Law, Línea Directa Aseguradora is entering the pet segment and launching its most comprehensive dog and cat insurance at the best price on the market, for €59.90 a year (equivalent to €4.99 a month).

Línea Directa Aseguradora closed the first three months of 2024 with a net profit of € 10.1 million, thanks to the strong improvements made to the insurance margin driven by the underwriting, claims management and cost-to-income measures put in place last year. The company has thus consolidated its return to profitability, which began in the second half of 2023.

The Catalan start-up Biel Glasses has developed smart glasses to ensure safe mobility for people with reduced vision. It combines IA with robotics to detect potential risks during journeys, and uses mixed reality to signal them in an accessible way.

Línea Directa Aseguradora has begun to market cover for squatting as independent insurance, which can be arranged with no need to have taken out a Home policy. It is also available to customers who have insured their homes with other companies.
