Reinsuring the ECA marketThe private reinsurance market plays a key role in supporting the public ECA market. This discussion looks at how the two sectors can continue their symbiotic relationship:

• How can ECAs utilise the private reinsurance to generate new capacity?

• Given the typically low default rates, is reinsurance a backwards step and would ECAs be better off holding onto their high premium assets?

• How can ECAs diversify their portfolio through the use of ECA or private reinsurance?

• Should ECAs be allowed to diversify their portfolio into countries where they have no exports?

Vinco David, Secretary General, Berne UnionPatrick Nimander, Director of Finance, EKNVincenzo Pedicini, Head of Reinsurance, SACE

Plenary Stream

Insurtech & Innovation: Is the industry ready to adapt?The likes of blockchain and artificial intelligence now appears to be a matter of when, not if. The digital era presents both challenges and opportunities and it’s essential the industry is ready and willing to adapt. This session looks at the various technologies and innovations which are set to shape the insurance value chain and how they can be practically applied to everyday business. Could it create a barrier for entry into the insurance market or could new InsurTech firms disrupt the current landscape.

Customer origination: How to attract new customers into the marketAs the private insurance market grows and capacity increases, bringing in new customers is essential. This session looks to compare and contrast different origination strategies:

• Are current business origination strategies outdated?

• What are the barriers that these strategies present and how can these be overcome?

• What can we learn from other industries?

Nick James, Credit Portfolio Management EMEA, MUFG

Solvency II post BrexitSolvency II is a topic that has divided the industry. This session is a chance to plan ahead and discuss how Solvency II can be refined post Brexit:

• Will the UK look to pursue an equivalent approach?

• Is it a case of refining rather than replacing Solvency II?

• What aspects have been a success and which aspects can be improved?

• Is the Bermuda Solvency II equivalence a model worth emulating?
