The company is represented by senior executives Nolwenn Allano, Chief Commercial Officer, and Manu Ram, Chief Product Officer, who are contributing to high-level sessions on digital transformation, reinsurance, and building customer trust in complex and rapidly expanding insurance markets.
Nigeria’s Digital Insurance Experience Shapes Regional Dialogue
With Nigeria’s insurance sector witnessing rising digital adoption alongside ongoing regulatory evolution, EIRS’ experience offers timely relevance for insurers and business leaders navigating scale, risk management, and customer engagement across emerging markets.
Digital Insurance MENA, taking place this January in Dubai, serves as a major platform for cross-regional knowledge exchange, bringing together stakeholders from Africa, the Middle East, and beyond. EIRS’ participation places African market realities—particularly lessons from Nigeria—at the heart of regional discussions.
Reinsurance as a Catalyst for Digital Insurance Growth
On January 20, Nolwenn Allano will deliver a keynote case study titled “How Reinsurance Serves as a Growth Enabler for Africa’s Digital Insurance Economy” and take part in an interactive panel discussion, “Winning Customer Trust in Digital Africa: Opportunities & Strategies.”
Leveraging over 25 years of international experience across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, Allano will examine how innovative reinsurance structures are accelerating digital insurance adoption and enabling insurers to scale sustainably in frontier and high-growth markets.
Advancing Digital Transformation Conversations
Manu Ram will contribute a technology-driven perspective during the panel session “Digital Transformation in the African Insurance Sector: Opportunities, Challenges, and Key Technology Trends Shaping the Future.”
At Digital Insurance MENA, Ram is expected to explore how data analytics, automation, and embedded insurance models are reshaping access to coverage in underserved markets, while also addressing regulatory and infrastructure challenges that continue to slow widespread adoption.
Strengthening Cross-Regional Thought Leadership
By participating in multiple high-profile sessions, EIRS is reinforcing its role as a bridge between African and Middle Eastern insurance markets, sharing practical lessons drawn from both mature and emerging economies.
According to Abhishek Jain, Chief Executive Officer of the EIRS Digital Insurance Ecosystem, the conference presents an opportunity to shape the future of insurance across high-growth regions.

EIRS’ presence at the event underscores its growing influence as a thought leader in emerging insurance markets, particularly across Africa and the Middle East, where digitalisation is transforming distribution models, risk advisory services, and customer engagement.
