Meet Swiss Re in Baden Baden to talk about what the future may hold

The Baden-Baden meeting in October is stage two of the annual renewals. They start each September with the Rendez-vous in Monte Carlo, as is the tradition. Yet, even if Baden-Baden and the weeks thereafter are very much about the annual treaty renewals, is always worth discussing the issues that are sure to have a significant impact on the future of our industry.

"There are a number of trends which are going to transform our industry in the future. The regulatory agenda is getting very busy and will affect the way we manage risk and capital. Technology is going to play a significant role and will also transform business models and maybe create new ones. Distribution channels will change radically and will create a different dialogue with consumers. It is very important that we look into these trends. These are radical shifts which will affect the way we conduct business but also create new opportunities for growth," says Jean-Jacques HENCHOZ, CEO Reinsurance EMEA.

Future ready
– this is the motto of Swiss Re's 2015 renewal campaign. Initiated with the Monte Carlo meetings, the talk about what the future may hold will continue in Baden Baden.

Prime examples of such issues that Swiss Re will bring in are technological change and digitalization. They will not only reshape the risk landscape but also challenge the insurance industry itself. How do we prepare for changing times? Let's talk.

Find out more about how we are working together to make the industry future ready (click here).

How quickly they will have to depends on a number of factors, of which technology is only one.

INTERVIEW
Kaan ACUN
Group Manager
MILLI Re

Given the fact that MILLI Re has been able to penetrate into most of the target territories over the 9 year period, the main aim for the medium term is to achieve further diversity in business written from these markets by adding accounts which would be selected on the basis of their potential profitability and related exposure and further reduce the retro element in this book in order to avoid clash of exposures. MENA region continues to be of vital importance to MILLI Re, followed by Asia. We also see a strong potential to grow further with the CIS and CEE countries as well as the African and Latin American regions.
