The Azerbaijan International Insurance Forum 2026, to take place in Baku, on 24-25 June, will tackle some of the most pressing questions facing insurance markets across Azerbaijan and Eurasia - from pension reform and NatCat resilience to digital transformation and market penetration.

The Azerbaijan insurance market stands at an important crossroads. As the sector evolves and seeks new avenues for growth, the upcoming AIIF 2026 – Azerbaijan International Insurance Forum will create a unique platform for discussing the foundations of long-term market development and the strategies needed to strengthen resilience and expand protection.

Scheduled to gather industry leaders, policymakers, international experts and market practitioners, AIIF 2026 will place strong emphasis on future-oriented topics with direct relevance not only for Azerbaijan, but for the broader Eurasian region.

One of the Forum’s headline discussions will address a topic of strategic importance for the country: the design of a private pension system in Azerbaijan. Bringing together pension experts from Europe, Romania, Kazakhstan and Central Europe, the session will explore how successful international models can support the development of sustainable retirement solutions and long-term savings mechanisms.

Another key debate will focus on reinsurance, natural catastrophe risks and market resilience — issues increasingly shaping insurance agendas worldwide. Discussions will cover risk modeling, NatCat exposure, resilience-building strategies and the insurance implications of major infrastructure developments, including the emerging Trans-Caspian Green Energy Corridor connecting several countries across Eurasia and Europe.

Market development and growth will also occupy center stage. A dedicated CEO roundtable will explore one of Azerbaijan’s major industry priorities: how to increase insurance penetration. Participants will discuss new ways to reach customers, remove barriers to insurance adoption and expand protection beyond traditional market boundaries. Technology and artificial intelligence are expected to play an increasingly important role in this transformation.

The second day of AIIF will widen the perspective through a dedicated Eurasia Market Pulse section, providing insights into growth drivers, market trends and challenges shaping emerging insurance markets across the region. The discussions aim to identify common development patterns and opportunities for regional cooperation.

Long-term value creation will also be addressed through sessions on Life & Health insurance, examining how insurers can strengthen trust, relevance and customer engagement in a rapidly changing environment. Other discussions will tackle global developments in insurance brokerage and the increasingly important role of professional education in building future-ready insurance markets.

From resilience and innovation to pensions, education and growth strategies, AIIF 2026 aims to become more than a regional conference. It seeks to create a platform where ideas, expertise and practical solutions can help shape the next stage of insurance development across Azerbaijan and Eurasia.
