Global Insurance Summit
The Global Insurance Summit brought together CEOs and senior stakeholders from the world’s top primary underwriters, reinsurers, investors, policymakers, and other thought leaders for one day of high-level discussion and networking in London. The event featured panel discussions, fireside chats, debates, and interactive roundtables.
Attendees gained critical insights into the evolving interconnected risks and innovative trends dominating the insurance landscape.
The global insurance market’s role as a shock absorber is being tested by a multitude of era-defining systemic risks facing leaders across business, finance and policy. Concerns are growing that climate change is making parts of the world increasingly uninsurable, rampant cyber crime is targeting businesses large and small, and on the world stage, insurers must navigate geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties that will challenge them as investors and underwriters and test the resilience of their customers.
At the same time, advancements in data analytics and artificial intelligence are set to revolutionise the way insurers operate, underwrite and communicate. Commercial insurance prices continue to rise, while higher interest rates are reigniting some areas of the life insurance sector – and private capital is looking to make further inroads. Amid all of this, regulatory change remains a driver for innovation.
At this transformative time for the sector, how should the industry navigate the path ahead? How should industry CEOs weigh up the risks and opportunities? How will changing investor appetite influence industry change?
