Infrastructure Resilience Development Fund

Among the initiatives of the Insurance Development Forum supported by Generali is the Infrastructure Resilience Development Fund, announced in 2024 and officially launched in 2025. The Fund reached a first close of USD 340 million, thanks to the contribution of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and of the Forum members involved in developing the initiative, including Generali.

The Fund aims to mobilise and facilitate insurance‑sector investment in infrastructure that strengthens the resilience of vulnerable communities to the risks posed by climate change and other natural disasters in emerging and developing economies.

The initiative is designed to provide a replicable and scalable solution for resilient infrastructure projects, bringing them to market quickly and generating positive, measurable outcomes for vulnerable communities in the short term.

Conceived as a catalyst to drive greater mobilisation and effectiveness of insurance‑sector investment in small and medium‑sized commercial infrastructure projects across emerging and developing markets, the initiative includes potential investments in both greenfield and brownfield projects across sectors such as renewable energy, water and waste management, transport, social infrastructure (including hospitals, education and public buildings), as well as digital infrastructure and telecommunications.
