Summary
Asian growth over recent decades has been the result of the unlocking of the market. Future growth will now come from moving up the value chain and developing more sophisticated strategies to economic expansion. This trend will be driven by an increased use of R&D and a better implementation of best practices in manufacturing and services. What is true for the wider economy is also true of insurance. The role of the Swiss Re Institute is to help insurers in the transition to the deeper integration of research and data into their operating models.

We live in an age of exponential change. It impacts how we view the world, how we navigate our space, how we interact with our environment, how we understand ourselves. That change could be the increasing prevalence of artificial intelligence; it could be gene editing technology; it could be blockchain. The risk entailed in these technologies is no longer abstract, it is quantifiable, it can be modelled, and it is available in real time.
The Swiss Re Institute is the bold and challenging response of Swiss Re to our changing world of risk. The Institute will provide new structure and thinking to our management of risk and the risk of our clients.
We discussed the most significant technologies and innovations in the field of risk management with global experts from within Swiss Re and leading minds including
- Siong Guan Lim, Former Group President, Government of Singapore Investment Corporation,
- Janil Puthucheary, Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Education & Ministry of Communications and Information
- Kishore Mahbubani, Dean of Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy of National University of Singapore, and
- Gerhard Schmitt, founding Director of ETH Future Cities Laboratory in Singapore
Through a mix of keynote speeches, breakout sessions, market stands and networking opportunities, the Swiss Re Institute Symposium will spur creative responses to the new world of risks we all face.
