Positive Impact Panels

Our Positive Impact Panels are a series of events looking at the data and innovation trends that are impacting industry.

In each event, we invite an expert panel to explore a theme or topic and how it can drive positive impact and sustainable development. Our panellists come from across public, private, third and academic sectors, and share their expertise with us as we look at how data, digitalisation and innovation affect sectors such as energy, planning and construction.

Our next Positive Impact Panel

Our expert panellists (to be announced) will explore the impact of climate change on perils, the evolution of catastrophe models, the opportunities and challenges for insurers and modellers, as well as the implications of advancements in technologies such as artificial intelligence, internet of things, and earth observation.
