This special virtual event on 19 November 2020, moderated by Jad Ariss, Managing Director of The Geneva Association, featured a conversation with three women insurance leaders on the power of intrapreneurship to promote innovation and address gender imbalance in the insurance industry.
Climate and flood experts Maryam Golnaraghi and Carolyn Kousky discuss how private insurers in the U.S. can complement the NFIP's residential flood policies by better tailoring products to needs – providing low-cost financial protection – and incentivising mitigation measures.

The COVID-19 pandemic, even after we overcome it, will have lasting effects on people, businesses and governments across the globe.
Kai-Uwe Schanz, Deputy Managing Director and Head of Research & Foresight, anticipates that the post-COVID-19 risk landscape will probably more digital than physical and more local than global. In all likelihood, resilience, rather than short-term economic gain, will drive public and private policy agendas.

A huge surge in remote working during the COVID-19 crisis has been accompanied by dramatic increases in cyber activity. Hackers are even targeting hospitals and medical facilities, where there is so much at stake.
Crises like the COVID-19 pandemic typically accelerate the innovative use of new technologies and data, and we are indeed seeing this happening right now.
Isabelle Flückiger, Director New Technologies & Data, illustrates how technology is moving the needle in addressing the COVID-19 crisis, and there are 'implications to watch' for liability and insurability.
Our thoughts are with those who have lost a loved one to COVID-19, with those who are infected and are suffering from it, as well as with all the medical staff – doctors, nurses – who are fighting so courageously, sometimes at the expense of their own health.
Our thoughts are also with all the people who continue to be working on the ground to make sure that our societies continue to function and that people’s basic needs are being met.
In this time of great uncertainty, insurance companies worldwide are fully mobilised to support their customers.
COVID-19 is affecting health at multiple levels, beyond the direct effects of infection.
Adrita Bhattacharya-Craven, Director Health & Ageing, discusses how the insurance industry can help society cope with the realities and aftermath of the pandemic.
