Munich Re and Swiss Re, the world's two biggest reinsurers, have joined forces to create an independent online reinsurance market. The marketplace is aimed at cutting costs in an industry hit by excess capacity and depressed premium rates.
The London-based venture, the first online marketplace for reinsurance to have the “built-in support” of two large companies, will provide a platform for buying and selling standardised forms of reinsurance cover.
Launched Monday, the exchange, called Inreon – an acronym formed from the phrase “insurance meets reinsurance online” – will be open to insurance companies, insurance brokers and other reinsurance groups.
The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
