THE Insurance and Pensions Commission (IPEC) has launched a high-level Insurance and Pensions Symposium in Victoria Falls, bringing together regional and international delegates for a three-day engagement aimed at strengthening and repositioning the sector.
The 2026 edition, held under the theme “Beyond Compliance: Regulating for Sustainability”, marks a defining milestone in IPEC’s 20-year journey, providing a platform to reflect on achievements while setting a forward-looking agenda anchored on sustainability, inclusivity, and resilience within the insurance and pensions industry.
Key plenary sessions are focusing on the sector’s digital transformation, with cybersecurity and data governance highlighted as critical pillars for public trust. With the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence and data-driven systems, experts are examining frameworks for ethical AI use, protection of consumer rights, and mitigation of evolving cyber threats.
Regulators and industry leaders are expected to outline strategies that balance innovation with accountability, ensuring sustainable growth of the sector in an increasingly digital financial ecosystem.
