Topic | Plugging the skills gap: How the Middle East is tackling people-related risks

The Middle East is grappling with significant people and talent risks that could impede economic growth and diversification efforts.

A key challenge is the widening skills gap, particularly in digital and technological sectors. Rapid advancements have outpaced the current workforce’s capabilities, leading to a shortage of qualified professionals in areas such as artificial intelligence, data science, and cybersecurity.

High turnover rates further compound these challenges. Employees are considering job changes, often due to gaps in employee benefits and dissatisfaction with current compensation structures. This creates significant risks around talent retention, as organisations struggle to maintain a stable and committed workforce.

Our SR.500 roundtable presents a valuable opportunity for senior risk management professionals and insurance buyers to engage in in-depth discussions on effective strategies to mitigate people and talent risks.

Participants:

  • ADNOC GROUP
  • DEUTSCHE BANK
  • DP WORLD
  • DUBAI AIRPORTS
  • GULF INTERNATIONAL BANK
  • IRM
  • RAK CERAMICS
  • RAKINSURANCE
  • REVANTAGE [BLACKSTONE]
  • VISION INVEST

Topic | Climate Resilience: Rethinking Risk in a world of Natural Catastrophes

The threat of natural catastrophes and climate risk is reshaping global business resilience.

The rising frequency and severity of extreme weather events (hurricanes, wildfires, floods, and heatwaves) pose a growing threat to businesses and economies. The financial and operational impacts are significant, affecting supply chains, infrastructure, and workforce safety.

Traditional risk models struggle with unpredictable weather patterns and shifting regulations, forcing companies to embed climate resilience into their strategies as climate risk is ever evolving.

Insurance markets are also adapting, with rising premiums, capacity constraints, and changing coverage terms making risk transfer more challenging.

Our SR.500 roundtable offers senior risk professionals and insurance buyers a forum to discuss climate resilience. Participants will explore innovative risk assessment, parametric insurance, and best practices for integrating climate risk into enterprise risk management.

We will discuss:

  • Measuring climate risk – Advanced analytics, scenario modelling, and AI are enhancing risk assessment.
  • Building resilience – Businesses are embedding sustainability, adapting supply chains, and exploring new insurance solutions.
  • Key success stories and learnings
