Asia Insurance Review's special summit on Industrial Revolution 4.0 and its impact on insurance got off to a rousing start in Seoul yesterday, where speakers delivered a balanced perspective of how the industry can capitalise on the technological, economic and social disruptions that are happening as the world enters its fourth major industrial era since the original industrial revolution of the 18th century. With a world being shaped by a fusion of technologies and the blurring of lines between the physical and digital spheres, the message on the first day of the conference was for the industry to keep an open mind and seize on opportunities to enhance its value proposition.
