Marsh Workshop: The Accelerating Geopolitical Transition: Managing Risks and Pursuing Opportunities

Speakers:

  • Christopher Coppock, Head of Geopolitical & Economic Risk Analysis, Credit Specialties
  • James William Crask, Global Supply Chain Practice Leader

Session description:

In an era defined by what has been called a geopolitical “rupture,” a changing world order, and an “accelerating geopolitical transition,” businesses are contending with an exceptional set of geopolitically fuelled risks that require the adoption of strategic foresight and new resilience strategies.

This session will explore the critical geopolitical and macroeconomic trends shaping the global landscape into 2027 and beyond, including inter-state tensions, trade disputes, polarization, and technological decoupling. We will then focus on specific challenges confronting EU businesses from navigating evolving regulatory frameworks and supply-chain vulnerabilities to energy and physical security risks, and upcoming elections.

Attendees will gain actionable insights into how to develop foresight and integrate geopolitical awareness into decision-making and planning processes, to improve mitigation of these risks through robust business resilience and insurance strategies. We will cover practical approaches such as political risk and trade credit insurance to resilience strategies including scenario planning and stress-testing. Additionally, the session will highlight the importance of embedding geopolitical risk governance into various levels of the business to ensure informed decision-making.

Join us to deepen your understanding of the accelerating geopolitical transition and discover how tailored resilience and insurance solutions can empower your organization amid the resulting complexity.

FERMA Workshop: The AI Risk dichotomy: AI-driven exposures and opportunities for operational resilience

Speakers:

  • Sjaak Schouteren, Cyber Growth Leader Europe

 Session Description:

Generative AI is reshaping the risk landscape, creating both significant vulnerabilities and powerful new capabilities for organisations. As reliance on digital “ground truth” erodes, companies are increasingly exposed to risks such as deepfakes, misinformation, and data contamination, already leading to financial and reputational losses across industries. At the same time, these technologies offer transformative opportunities in predictive intelligence, threat detection, and automated compliance. 

 This 40-minute workshop will explore this dual reality, providing a practical and balanced perspective on both the risks and the opportunities. Participants will gain insight into emerging exposures, from social engineering and synthetic media to internal governance challenges linked to AI misuse. The session will also examine the broader systemic implications, including the growing impact of AI-driven misinformation on markets and business operations. 
 
Building on this, the workshop will highlight how organisations can turn these challenges into strategic advantage. It will explore how risk functions can evolve towards real-time, dynamic risk assessment, leveraging predictive indicators and advanced scenario modelling to strengthen resilience. Finally, it will consider how governance and control frameworks may need to adapt to fully harness AI while maintaining trust, accountability, and effective decision-making. 
 
Designed to be practical and forward-looking, this session will equip participants with key insights to better understand, anticipate, and respond to the rapidly evolving AI risk landscape.
