Finding opportunity in a changing insurance ecosystem
The insurance industry is confronted with an increasingly unstable risk landscape. Rapid shifts in climate, technology and geopolitical norms are forcing leaders to rethink their approach to risk management. Rising coverage costs and emerging risk classes are compromising the industry’s ability to protect economies and insure resilience.
Despite these complex market conditions, the industry continues to see growth, innovation, and investment. Insurers are leveraging technology to respond to escalating natural catastrophes and transform life insurance products. Private capital continues to view the industry as an attractive investment opportunity.
Hosted by the Financial Times ahead of the Global Insurance Summit 2026, this webinar will bring together FT experts to address the key challenges shaping the insurance industry. The panel will discuss the expanding protection gap and the changing role of reinsurance in the insurance ecosystem.
Discussion points
What should insurance leaders' strategic priorities be for 2026 and beyond?
How should insurers evolve risk modelling in response to the growing frequency and severity of natural catastrophes?
How should insurers approach risks associated with AI?
What does the rise of alternative risk models mean for traditional insurers?
Are reinsurers adequately prepared for the threat of a systemic attack?
How should life insurers adjust their investment strategies in response to the growing influx of private capital?
Keep the momentum going at the
