The launch, which coincided with the InsureTek Middle East Conference 2024, marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of the insurance technology sector.
GAIP, a non-profit international organization headquartered at the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) with chapters slated for establishment worldwide, endeavours to foster collaboration, innovation, and knowledge exchange within the global insurtech industry. In his role as Founder and Chairman, Dr. AFTAB Hasan articulated GAIP's mission during the launch ceremony, emphasizing its commitment to setting new standards for excellence and cultivating a culture of innovation on a global scale.
The event shed light on the ripe landscape for disruption within the insurance sector, particularly in the Middle East, where emerging trends like digitalization are gaining momentum. Experts underscored the necessity for innovative solutions to enhance accessibility, awareness, and efficiency, catalysing insurance penetration improvements across the region.
GAIP's vision extends beyond mere establishment; it aspires to become a global association with chapters spanning key regions such as America, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. These regional chapters will facilitate localized engagement, events, and initiatives tailored to specific regional needs, ensuring comprehensive global representation and collaboration among insurtech professionals worldwide.
The formation of GAIP aligns with a period of remarkable growth in the insurtech market, notably within the Middle East and Africa region.
