Swiss Re partners with RIQ

Swiss Re has entered into a strategic collaboration with Reinsurance Intelligence Quotient ( RIQ ) to develop data driven, AI enabled capacity solutions and risk origination opportunities across the UAE and beyond. The partnership is formalized through a memorandum of understanding and reflects Swiss Re’s push to combine its risk expertise and data foundation with AI native platforms.

RIQ, launched in 2025 by IHC in partnership with BlackRock and Lunate, is building an AI native reinsurance platform headquartered in Abu Dhabi Global Market. The collaboration deepens Swiss Re’s engagement in the region and supports Abu Dhabi’s ambition to position itself as a global hub for reinsurance and financial innovation.

The two companies will work together on new capacity structures and explore broader cooperation over the medium to long term, with a focus on underwriting accuracy, capital deployment, and technology enabled risk transfer.

“This collaboration builds on Swiss Re’s deep risk expertise, strong data foundation and early adoption of AI. Together with RIQ, we aim to realise an AI-native reinsurance platform and further strengthen our engagement in this dynamic region. By combining our joint capabilities with the region’s strong innovation drive and vibrant insurance market, we can explore novel risk-transfer instruments, creating new ways to support our clients through peak risks.” – Swiss Re’s Group CEO Andreas Berger.
