Takaful Innovation Summit 2018: Seizing Smart Solutions In The
Digital Era

Introduction

‘Digital disruption’ is a buzzword which we come across very often. Technology has changed the way we do businesses and it has disrupted many industries and finance is no exception to it.

Takaful Innovation Summit 2018 will focus on helping institutions embrace the customer demands and market requirements necessary to remain relevant and pursue continued opportunities for growth in the coming years. The event will provide a variety of learning formats, from big picture keynotes to targeted, deeper-dive tech talks and networking opportunities for meaningful business connections. Combine this with an audience of the industry’s thought leaders and it’s no surprise that Takaful Innovation Summit 2018 is an event you cannot afford to miss.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

Millennials are the most tech savvy generation ever. They are, however, underinsured. This gives huge potential to the insurance and Takaful industry to forge new technology to affect the value proposition of existing products and services. However, merely adopting new technologies is not going to give success. Things to consider:

✓ Can we create a culture of innovation?
✓ How can we use big data to drive product development?
✓ What are the lessons learnt from technology initiative failures?
✓ What are the untraditional distribution channels to capture new markets?
✓ How is risk management going to change in the digital era?
✓ What are the Shariah compliance issues in Takaful operations and what are the future challenges? These are few questions which will be investigated in the conference and many more.

✓ Driving client-centricity and product innovation using Big Data
✓ Using analytics to deliver personalised & competitive pricing to win new customers
