The SCOR auditorium was packed for the 2-day event, with +180 attendees from 47 different countries. The 18 speakers (check the programme and our speakers) gave insightful presentations on the main ingredients for the development of our societies:  ranging from water (water security/water scarcity), to agriculture and food, health/longevity, and infrastructure/power.  Renowned experts in their respective fields provided considerable insight into the challenges posed by these risks in the near future and the key role of the (re)insurance industry to contribute to livelihood and well-being.

 

The topic of artificial intelligence was also an important focus this year, as a potential emerging solution to expand insurable risks and to develop automated and predictive underwriting.  The presentations described how new technology is already changing our societies and the way we live, which in turn is impacting the (re)insurance sector.
