Enabling innovation through regulation | Embracing possibility, boosting innovation

Hosted by Conyers Dill & Pearman

• Blockchain and the move toward ICO regulation to create an environment of regulatory certainty
• Regulation as an enabler to turn Bermuda into a global leader in the fintech and insurtech space
• The impact of external influences in Bermuda and how to remain relevant

Analytics for insurance – turning data into your business’ most useful tool

The use of big data analytics in insurance presents exponential opportunities for the industry. Improved understanding of risks can better inform risk reduction, enhance insurability and streamline the overall business transaction process.


However, the (re)insurance industry is facing major challenges when trying to put the vast amounts of data they possess into usable formats. In addition, individuals, firms and regulators face complex trade-offs when balancing the benefits and risks of using personal data from digital sources to calculate insurance premiums. The panel will discuss:

· Big data and its implications for innovation and privacy
· Data processing, cloud processing and turning data into a useable format
· The significance of better risk selection and pricing on this industry and all its players

How insurers and startups are targeting the growing cyber insurance market


The number of re/insurers now offering cyber has leapt up considerably. Is it because they understand the risk and exposure better? Or is it because if they don’t, they will struggle to remain relevant in a world where cyber is one the biggest threats businesses face? During this discussion, our esteemed panel will discuss: • Status of cyber insurance market • How cyber-attacks trigger silent (non-affirmative) coverage • Modelling silent cyber • Insurance approach to blockchain and cryptocurrency risks • What role is Insurtech playing in this space?
