Dear Delegates, Colleagues and Friends,

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the AIO African Reinsurance Forum 2026 in Mauritius.

On behalf of the Local Organising Committee and the Insurers Association of Mauritius, I thank you for joining us for this important gathering of insurance and reinsurance leaders from across Africa and around the world.

This year's Forum will be held under the theme From Data to Decisions: How Artificial Intelligence is Transforming Reinsurance. As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the global insurance landscape, the Forum will provide a unique platform to explore how emerging technologies can enhance risk assessment, improve operational efficiency, strengthen customer experience, and support sustainable growth across African insurance markets.

The Forum offers an invaluable opportunity to exchange ideas, share experiences, strengthen partnerships, and identify innovative solutions that will help our industry navigate an increasingly dynamic and interconnected world. I am confident that the discussions and collaborations fostered during this event will contribute meaningfully to the future development of insurance and reinsurance across the continent.

Mauritius is honoured to host this prestigious event. Beyond the business sessions, we hope you will experience the warmth of our hospitality, the richness of our multicultural heritage, and the exceptional beauty of our island.

We look forward to welcoming you and ensuring that your experience is both productive and memorable.

See you in Mauritius from 10 - 14 October 2026.

Warm regards,

Vasish Ramkhalawon

Chair, Local Organising Committee
