Industry expertise banks and insurance companies

As the back­bone of the German economy, the financial sector is under great pressure to transform. Far-reaching and complex regulation is intended to ensure the stability and resilience of banks and insurance companies in times of crisis, but also increases both effort and costs. Society, policy­makers and investors expect financial institutions to integrate ESG criteria into their business strategies and develop sustainable financing models. Given the growing number of natural disasters, insurance companies must make every effort to calculate climate and environ­mental risks. With the revolution in AI and robotics, further investments in digitali­sation and the develop­ment of digital business models are essential in order to remain competitive, since financial and insurance technology companies are challenging tradi­tional financial institutions in terms of agility, innovation and customer service. All this is happening against a backdrop of major geo­political up­heavals, involving almost incalculable risks to the economy and requiring strategic attention from every player. In an age of radical global changes, Germany as a business location needs a strong financial sector to cope with the trans­formation. This key sector must there­fore work on its own comprehensive renewal.
