The Challenge

Insurance has long been a pillar of economic resilience, enabling growth and stability through times of change. From the Beveridge Report to Churchill and Lloyd George's National Insurance, it has shaped public policy and supported livelihoods. 

Today, as the UK faces pressing challenges, insurance can once again play a critical role. This conference will bring together leaders from politics, industry, academia, and NGOs to explore how insurance can support government priorities, from managing green transition risks to driving innovation and economic security. 

Together, we’ll examine public-private insurance solutions to unlock investment, foster innovation, and safeguard livelihoods, reigniting insurance as a tool for national renewal and collaboration.
