On October 20 and 21, we held our latest events in Dubai and Abu Dhabi: Growing Through Uncertainty: The Evolving Role of Risk and Insurance in MENA. 

These events brought together business leaders, risk professionals and industry experts to discuss the forces reshaping the region's risk landscape.  

From geopolitical developments and supply chain disruption to emerging technologies and cyber threats, the sessions explored how organisations can strengthen resilience while continuing to pursue growth.  

Key themes that were discussed during the event:  

• The Changing Risk Landscape  

As risks become more interconnected, organisations are increasingly focused on understanding the wider business impact of cyber threats, geopolitical developments and supply chain disruption. 

• The Business Perspective: Responding to Uncertainty  

Senior executives shared how they are balancing growth ambitions with resilience, embedding risk considerations into strategic decision-making while adapting to a rapidly changing business environment.   

• Risk, Insurance and Recovery  

Discussion focused on the role of preparedness, recovery planning and resilience capabilities, and how these complement traditional risk transfer and insurance strategies.   

• The State of Risk and Insurance in MENA  

Latest market insights highlighted evolving risk priorities across the region and the growing importance of governance, preparedness and organisational resilience.   

Across all four discussions, a consistent message emerged: resilience is no longer solely about protecting against risk, but about enabling organisations to adapt, recover and grow with confidence.
