- Artificial intelligence helps insurers study risks, set prices and process claims faster, allowing quicker decisions and better service for businesses.
- Global partnerships help insurers offer cover across countries, supporting large projects and businesses operating in multiple regions with more complex risk needs.
Businesses facing rising risks are seeing changes in how insurance works. New technology is helping insurers respond faster and offer better cover.
Artificial intelligence is now used to study risks and set prices. It also helps design products and process claims faster.
Andrew Coutts, chief executive officer of Hollard Insure, said risks are growing and changing. He said insurers must use technology and work closely with brokers and global partners.
These tools help insurers understand new risks. They also help create products for industries like renewable energy and digital systems.
Brad Irik from Tokio Marine Holdings said technology improves customer outcomes. He said it allows faster decisions and better communication with brokers.
Global partnerships are becoming more important as businesses expand across countries. They need cover that works in different regions.
Hollard has partnered with Japan based Tokio Marine GX. This expands cover for infrastructure and large commercial projects.
Coutts said these partnerships combine local knowledge with global expertise. He said this helps support complex projects across countries.
Insurance is also changing its role. It is not only about paying after losses.
Insurers are now expected to help businesses prepare for risks before problems happen.
Coutts said the risk environment can be worrying. But he said there are now more chances to support clients.
