Against the backdrop of a rapidly evolving financial ecosystem, InsurInnovator Connect Asia 2025 (IIC Asia 2025) in partnership with IBS Intelligence (IBSi) as a Community Partner is set to convene senior decision-makers from the insurance, banking, FinTech, and InsurTech sectors in Singapore on 24–25 September 2025.

Held under the theme “Connect Asia, Innovate Insurance”, the summit will serve as a strategic forum to advance the next wave of digital transformation across financial services in the region.

At a time when convergence between finance and insurance is unlocking new digital possibilities, IIC Asia 2025 will explore transformative themes such as cross-sector innovation models, embedded finance, AI-powered underwriting, and the future of bancassurance partnerships. The event is designed to facilitate meaningful dialogue, showcase cutting-edge technology, and foster industry alignment on innovation priorities.

Allen Lau, Managing Director of InsurInnovator Connect, said, “As financial ecosystems converge, the need for cross-industry collaboration has never been clearer. IIC Asia 2025 is the meeting point for executives driving transformation across insurance, banking, and FinTech in Asia.”

With over 200 global thought leaders and 50+ exhibiting firms, the summit will present a comprehensive agenda across six strategic content stages, covering digital onboarding, regulatory tech, data-driven decisioning, customer experience personalisation, and core systems modernisation. Delegates can expect curated discussions and live showcases focused on AI, fraud prevention, personalised CX, and Shariah-compliant product innovation offering actionable insights for forward-looking firms across Asia’s financial services value chain.

The event’s interactive expo floor will feature live demonstrations, startup showcases, and investor networking zones providing a dynamic environment for collaboration and deal-making.

As a catalyst for APAC’s digital innovation ecosystem, IIC Asia 2025 will feature two flagship startup platforms:

• InsurTech Showcase (24 Sept) – A high-visibility pitch arena inside the exhibition zone where emerging startups present 10-minute innovations directly to a live audience of executives and investors.
• InsurTech Pitch & Win (25 Sept) – A curated competition judged by leading insurers, banks, CVCs, and angel investors, recognising the most impactful innovations shaping the future of insurance.

The summit will also host the IIC Asia Awards 2025 Gala on Day 1, celebrating companies and individuals who are reshaping the landscape through digital inclusion, embedded finance, customer-centric platforms, and responsible innovation.

From AI-driven risk assessment and open finance to data privacy, cloud-native infrastructure, and digital identity, IIC Asia 2025 delivers critical foresight for CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, venture capitalists, and digital transformation leaders navigating Asia’s rapidly shifting financial landscape.

For industry stakeholders seeking to lead in an era defined by convergence, collaboration, and customer-centric innovation, IIC Asia 2025 stands as a must-attend anchor event on Asia’s FinTech and insurance calendar.
