Raft of first-time winners make the 9th Middle East Insurance Industry Awards a memorable event
 

Eighteen industry stars claimed top honours at the 9th Middle East Insurance Industry Awards (MIIA), held in person at the Conrad Dubai yesterday. This was the first time the awards have been held in person since the COVID-19 pandemic spread in 2020.

The award winners edged out over 200 entries from the MENA region to earn the top spots, proving their mettle and commitment to the sector in an increasingly dynamic competitive environment and digitalised world.

To reflect the increasing strength of the reinsurance sector, the Reinsurance Company of the Year award was split into General Reinsurer of the Year and Life Reinsurer of the Year.

Saudi Re and International General Insurance (IGI) were named joint winners of the General Reinsurer of the Year award – the first time in the MIIA’s nine-year history that this category has resulted in a tie.

RGA Middle East claimed the title of Life Reinsurer of the Year for its passion and commitment to making financial protection accessible to all throughout the MENA region.

The InsurTech of the Year – an award also introduced for the first time – was clinched by ATOM Technologies, an end-to-end insurance operating system created by insurance professionals.

The big winner of the night was Marsh Middle East and Africa. It claimed Broker of the Year title for the fourth time and Reinsurance Broker of the Year for the first time. The company launched its main strategic imperatives – reinforcing its core capabilities – and its ‘modernisation’ agenda encompassing operations, IT and talent.

Several first-time winners made their mark in this year's competition: Zurich International Life for Life Insurance Company of the Year; Abu Dhabi National Insurance Company for General Insurance Company of the Year; Solidarity Bahrain for Takaful Company of the Year; and Qatar Insurance Company for Digital Transformation of the Year.

Zu’bi & Partners’ Ms Raghad Hammad was named the Woman Leader of the Year for her efforts in advancing the (re)insurance sector across the MENA region and dedication to empowering women.

The Young Leader of the Year title went to Dubai Health Insurance Corporation’s Mr Ali Fareed Lutfi in recognition of his many achievements and contributions to the insurance industry.

The highly-coveted Insurance Industry Leader of the Year award went to Middle East Insurance Company’s Dr Rajai Sweis, recognised for his sound leadership, business acumen, and progressive vision in leading the organisation.
