KIIC is an international event established to expand global exchanges and enhance the competitiveness of the domestic non-life insurance industry. This year, under the theme "The Role of Non-Life Insurance in a Changing Risk Environment," participants discussed the industry's response strategies and future challenges.

The event brought together more than 1,300 insurance professionals from 175 companies across 27 countries. Attendees included domestic non-life insurers, Korean Re, global reinsurance companies, insurance brokers, cybersecurity firms, and autonomous driving technology companies.

This year, the event newly introduced the "Partners Zone," offering participants hands-on experiences with future technologies related to the insurance industry. Attendees were able to explore the latest technologies and services in the fields of autonomous driving and cybersecurity, and discover new business opportunities.

On the first day, the "The Link" Safety Network General Assembly addressed measures to close the protection gap and discussed avenues for global cooperation. Government officials, industry representatives, and academics explored strategies for responding to social risks.

On the second day, various sessions were held on the global insurance market outlook and the industry changes driven by the spread of artificial intelligence (AI). The event opened with keynote speeches from Aon and McKinsey, followed by presentations and discussions featuring Munich Re, Hyundai Motor, and Samsung Electronics. Key issues for the future of the insurance industry, such as autonomous driving, cyber risks, and the utilization of AI, were extensively covered.

A Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance representative stated, "KIIC is establishing itself as a platform that connects the domestic insurance industry with the global market," and added, "We will continue to expand collaboration between the domestic and international insurance industries and future sectors to enhance the global competitiveness of Korea's insurance industry."
