Global Insurance Summit

Shifting geopolitical norms, new risks to businesses and individuals, and slowing economic growth are making it harder for the insurance industry to fulfil its vital role: providing financial and societal stability across economies. Conflict in the Gulf is now reverberating throughout the industry, as insurers grapple to price evolving threats ships, commercial flights, and critical infrastructure in the region. This geopolitical environment is testing the limits of current risk models and increasing the likelihood of a tail risk event. A widening protection gap is causing some legacy players to retreat from lines of business. All of which raises the question: are some risks becoming uninsurable? 

To address this challenge, and examine various solutions, the Global Insurance Summit returned in its multi-track format, brought together leaders from across the global insurance ecosystem. As before, they will include senior executives, decision makers, and policymakers, from insurers, reinsurers, regulators and service providers. 

In a series of discussions, debates and keynote interviews, these business leaders will join FT journalists to examine the changes needed to ensure the insurance industry continues to serve its customers. Sessions will cover:

• The use of technology to mitigate climate risk
• The ethical and safe application of AI
• The increased use of alternative asset classes
• The innovations that can enable life insurers to adapt to changing demographics
