Climate change, geopolitical instability, inflation, public health shocks — risk is no longer one-dimensional.
Today’s underwriters face a complex web of interconnected threats, where one crisis triggers another.
This is the era of polycrisis and it’s reshaping how insurers must assess, model, and respond to risk.
Traditional, siloed approaches are no longer enough. To stay competitive, underwriters need better tools, better data, and a deeper understanding of how risks interact and evolve.
Join us as we explore how the insurance industry is adapting to this new reality with more agile strategies, smarter insights, and faster decision-making.
In this session, leading experts will discuss:
-
How the rise of polycrisis is changing the global risk landscape and underwriting priorities
-
Why interconnected risks demand new models and real-time data
-
What underwriters need now to respond to emerging threats quickly and effectively
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear how your peers are preparing for a risk environment that’s anything but predictable.
