Banco Sabadell’s experts played a leading role at INESE, the most important annual event in Spain for people working in the insurance industry. With the support of more than a hundred of sponsors and the attendance of more than 4000 insurance professional, the conference had more than 40 talks and working meetings what addressed different aspects of the future of the insurance industry, with special focus on changes in law, commercial and technological innovations, and business strategies, among others.

Banco Sabadell thus further cemented its place as a key participant in the Spanish insurance industry, taking an active part in Insurance Week 2024, the most important annual event for people working in the industry. The notable presence of our experts at the meeting reaffirms our commitment to development and innovation in the field of insurance, offering integral solutions that meet the needs of our clients.

This year’s event saw among other innovations the launch of a radio station for the event itself, allowing the event and the contributions of leading experts in a number of fields to be followed as a podcast. A demonstration of the leading role that Banco Sabadell plays in the industry is that three of our senior management team were invited to contribute to that radio station. Specifically, Bernardino Gómez Aritmendi, CEO of Bansabadell Vida, Bansabadell Seguros Generales and Bansabadell Pensiones, Elvira Barba, Director of Claims at Bansabadell Vida, Bansabadell Seguros Generales and Bansabadell Pensiones and Alba Sendín, Director of Analytics at Bansabadell Vida, Bansabadell Seguros Generales and Bansabadell Pensiones.

In his contribution, Bernardino Gómez Aritmendi mentioned how important it is for insurance companies not just to devise insurance products, “but also to offer value-added services that can generate social and environmental, as well as financial, value that can improve the quality of life and independence of people.”  As an example he cited the project Un Seguro Con Causa, aimed at the transition to a more sustainable economy, which is associated with social and environmental causes. And thanks to which different contributions to both the Spanish Association Against Cancer and the Network for Nature Conservation, Sant Joan de Deu Hospital, the Guttmann Institute, biobanks and the Contigo Foundation.

Elvira Barba took part in a session on Women in Leadership. She said “I would give the same advice to both women and men who aspire to management roles in the insurance industry: get education, be curious to learn, listen and be listened to, we all have something to bring, and ask questions, ask many questions and innovate. Sabadell Seguros contributes to work-life balance, offers us flexibility, we work to targets and the company promotes diversity.

Finally, Sendin talked of the importance of Artificial Intelligence to the industry. “AI is making inroads in all industries, especially the insurance industry, triggering a cultural change in ways of working in order to be able to optimise the use of time and be more effective at the same time as we create environments with more cross-department working. From my point of view new ways of working have to be more effective and you need a clearer idea of end to end process within the company.”
