Insurance Development Forum Annual Summits

Generali took part in the 2025 Insurance Development Forum (IDF) Summit that focused on the theme “Celebrating 10 years: Imagine The Possible”, bringing together leading voices of the climate and disaster risk finance and insurance community to discuss climate risk, natural disasters, and the contribution of insurance industry in driving greater resilience in emerging and developing economies, in collaboration with the public sector and other key stakeholders.

Hosted at Generali’s Procuratie, The Home of The Human Safety Net, and coinciding with the first edition of Venice Climate Week, the Summit gave visibility to bold solutions and practical insights with the objective to inspire, foster new ideas and catalyse positive action over the next decade. Generali was represented at the Summit opening by Andrea Sironi, Chairman of the Group.

Generali took part in the 2024 Insurance Development Forum (IDF) Summit that focused on the theme "Why Insurance Matters: Prevent, Protect, Provoke”. The event aimed to discuss the value of insurance in a changing risk landscape and its role in prevention and protection, in addition to identifying tangible contributions on how to bridge the funding gap in emerging markets’ infrastructure - which is estimated at USD 1.3 trillion - and boost the resilience of vulnerable communities.

Mirko Sartori represented Generali and intervened during a panel dedicated to building small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) resilience together with representatives of the Ministries of Finance of Ethiopia and Ruanda, as well as the Asian Development Bank.
