The Singapore International Reinsurance Conference (SIRC) 2025 is one of the world’s most influential gatherings for reinsurers, brokers, MGAs, and risk leaders — providing a strategic platform to explore the future of reinsurance in a fast-changing world.
Held in Singapore from 3–6 November, this year’s event embraces the theme:
“Staying Ahead, Future Ready.”
With global risk profiles becoming more interconnected and volatile, SIRC 2025 will challenge industry leaders to look beyond today’s pressures and embrace innovation, foresight, and resilience as drivers of long-term success.
Key focus areas include:
-
Anticipating Change: Understand how macroeconomic shifts, geopolitical tensions, and emerging risks are reshaping the global reinsurance agenda.
-
Embracing Innovation: Explore how technologies such as AI, automation, and advanced analytics are transforming underwriting, claims, and risk management.
-
Building Resilience: Learn how reinsurers are enhancing operational agility, regulatory readiness, and capital efficiency to stay ahead of disruption.
With high-level panels, expert insights, and valuable networking opportunities, SIRC 2025 is a must-attend event for organisations looking to lead the reinsurance industry into its next chapter.
The APAC reinsurance market faces a distinct set of challenges:
-
Intensifying climate and natural catastrophe risks
High exposure to typhoons, earthquakes, floods, and wildfires is driving up catastrophe claims and challenging risk models.
-
Regulatory divergence across markets
Varying levels of regulatory maturity across APAC create compliance complexity for reinsurers operating regionally.
-
Low insurance penetration in emerging economies
Many Southeast Asian and South Asian countries still have underdeveloped insurance markets, limiting premium growth.
-
Rising geopolitical tensions and supply chain disruption
Regional instability and global trade shifts increase underwriting uncertainty, especially in manufacturing and logistics sectors.
-
Emerging cyber threats and digital risk exposure
Accelerated digitalisation across APAC is outpacing the region’s readiness to underwrite and model cyber risks effectively.
-
Talent shortages and ageing workforce in mature markets
Markets like Singapore and Japan face challenges in attracting next-generation talent, impacting innovation and continuity.
-
Increased competition from alternative capital and ILS
Insurance-linked securities and third-party capital are reshaping catastrophe and specialty reinsurance dynamics.
-
Pressure to modernise legacy systems
Many reinsurers still operate on outdated platforms, limiting their ability to make agile, data-driven decisions.
