26th Asia Insurance Industry Awards 2022

31 Oct 2022, Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Singapore

It is indeed surreal to be hosting the 26th Asia Insurance Industry Awards – the first in-person extravaganza since 2019, after a long pandemic. We at Asia Insurance Review are delighted and honoured to be saluting the winners of what was a very tough competition. After more than a quarter of a century of hosting these awards, what has remained a constant is the professionalism and the commitment all the nominees showed once again.

During the qualifying period, with the industry hopefully dusting off the remnants of the pandemic, the nominees all displayed their agility and grit to ensure that their clients’ and colleagues’ needs were of primary focus. The industry has indeed come out of this stronger and more innovative. The pandemic was truly a litmus test – from it came the silver lining resulting in innovation and the digital transformation of the Asian insurance industry. Perhaps without this push, we would not have seen the speed at which the industry evolved.

We are looking forward to a new dawn of opportunities and hope that this sense of ‘recovery’ prevails through the rest of 2022 and into the new year.

This year, the nominations were indeed outstanding which made the job of the judges very difficult. On behalf of Asia Insurance Review, I would like to place on record our sincere appreciation to all the judges for their hard work and commitment in ploughing through the ton of entries.

The judges met on a virtual platform to deliberate over the candidates and we also introduced special interviews with the candidates for certain categories which made the whole process even tougher.

The winners must really be saluted for coming out on top after such a gruelling competitive process. We salute all those that participated and would like to congratulate all our winners and finalists alike. To us, you are all winners!

I am very grateful to all the sponsors and supporting organisations who kept their faith in us and continued the collective cause to raise the bar of excellence for the industry. Many of them have stayed loyal to the awards for many years.

The Asia Insurance Industry Awards have become a significant part of the fabric of the industry today and we are proud that the AIIA trophy has become the most coveted in the region, with its clearly-defined criteria, transparent process and independence, scrutinised by KPMG.

So, winners, do celebrate the fact that you have emerged in pole position. You now also have the responsibility to maintain the high bar that you have set so continue to push the industry to new standards of excellence. You are now the benchmark!

I would also like to thank the team at Asia Insurance Review who have worked tirelessly to bring these awards to fruition.

Once again, congratulations to all our winners and finalists and our appreciation to our sponsors and judges. Without you all, these awards would not have been possible. All the best and wishing you a great year in 2023!
