DEEP DIVE SESSION // WEDNESDAY - 15 JANUARY

Downstream Space

Insurance & Risk Management

As the insurance and risk management sectors grapple with increasing complexities, geospatial technology is emerging as a game-changer. This session will delve into how satellite remote sensing, paired with geospatial analytics, empowers insurance providers and risk managers with precise, actionable insights to make better-informed decisions and mitigate risks. The discussion will focus on how satellite imagery and geospatial tools are transforming risk assessment and disaster response. From evaluating natural disaster impacts to predicting climate risks and monitoring asset vulnerabilities, satellite data is reshaping how insurers assess and price risk, manage claims, and forecast potential hazards. By harnessing geospatial intelligence, insurers can optimize underwriting, reduce uncertainty, and improve resilience. This session will include panel discussions and case studies from industry experts who are utilizing downstream space technology to enhance risk modeling and claims management. Attendees will learn how satellite-derived geospatial insights are enabling real-time risk assessments, streamlining loss estimation, and helping businesses and communities better prepare for and recover from catastrophic events.
