Insurance Institute of Zimbabwe (IIZ) says insurance professionals stand at the intersection of risk, resilience and opportunity hence as the industry must respond with agility, foresight and innovation.
IIZ general manager Davison Choeni in his welcome remarks at the Southern Africa Insurance Indaba 2025 in Victoria Falls said reimagining insurance extends beyond simply embracing technological advancements or innovating products.
“The continent is evolving, our economies are rebuilding and repositioning and our industry must respond with agility, foresight and innovation,” he said.
He noted that the indaba gives a powerful space to challenge old assumptions, share practical solutions, forge partnerships and reimagine what is possible for the future of insurance in Africa.
“Together, we will explore how our sector can drive sustainable growth, support development, and contribute meaningfully to national and regional economic agendas,” said Choeni.
