_Munich. June 25, 2025_

In a landmark move for the German insurance sector, Retorio - the pioneer in AI-powered coaching, and the regional Vocational Training Institutes of the German Insurance Industry (BWVs), namely BWV Südwest, BWV Nord, and BWV Nordbayern-Thüringen, are announcing their official strategic partnership. Together, they aim to set new standards in sales enablement through the use of artificial intelligence.

## **A shared mission for the future of learning**

The goal of the partnership is to lay the foundation for scalable, future-ready training across the German insurance landscape. Their joint mission: to provide sales talents in the insurance sector with practical, accessible, and psychologically safe exam preparation: anytime, anywhere, and alongside real-world practice.

> _“Choosing Retorio as a partner was a strategic decision that made perfect sense for us. We see Retorio as a highly trusted partner with outstanding expertise in AI-based coaching and training,” says Armin Lutz, Managing Director of BWV Nordbayern-Thüringen._

_“As an experienced network in the insurance industry, we know what our members need. This collaboration brings together the best of both worlds. It ensures a tailored fit that is essential for gaining acceptance of AI-based learning and training programs, and for making the industry future-proof.”_

## **Innovation through combined expertise:** First avatar-based best-practice content for insurance

The first concrete outcome of this alliance is the development of avatar-based best-practice training content specifically for the insurance industry. This innovative content, created jointly by Retorio and the regional BWVs, will be available starting **August 1, 2025**, and will offer tailored learning paths to prepare sales employees for the practical proficiency exam in accordance with §34d of the German Trade Regulation Act.

By combining the BWVs’ long-standing industry experience with Retorio’s AI coaching, sales talents now receive the ongoing, personalized feedback that has been missing from traditional training, and that is critical for professional growth.
