UNIQA Insurance Group AG became a permanent member of the Eurapco Alliance this year. Eurapco is a strategic alliance in which eight insurance companies in Europe cooperate through knowledge exchange, business-driven learning and development, and joint innovation. The focus is on digital transformation, digitalization, health innovation and sustainability. 

The Alliance is actively engaged in shaping the future of the insurance industry. At more than 300 events and meetings per year, employees of the partner companies share expertise and best practices in all key business areas. The goal of the Eurapco partners is to strengthen their competitiveness and ability to innovate, and thus their activities in the respective local markets. There is also a strong focus on developing customer-centric solutions. 

"We are proud to be a permanent partner of the Eurapco Alliance. This partnership is in line with our UNIQA 3.0 strategy, which is also based on cooperation across national borders, hierarchies and functions. In a time of rapid change and diverse challenges, we want to actively shape the future of the insurance industry together through mutual exchange," says Wolfgang Kindl, Member of the Management Board (Customer & Market International) of UNIQA Insurance Group AG.  

Eurapco representatives expressed their great satisfaction on the beginning of cooperation with UNIQA Insurance, as one of the leading insurance groups, and emphasized the importance of future knowledge exchange, opportunities to accelerate business and encourage innovation, as well as the importance of digital transformation and customer-oriented initiatives that will be additionally promoted within the Alliance.

With more than 50 working groups and a wide range of annual activities, the Eurapco network covers all facets of the insurance industry. As a result, the Alliance serves as a platform for international networking and employee development. In particular, this includes the Eurapco Academy, which offers various internationally oriented learning formats and deep dives. UNIQA will make greater use of these offers for the further training of its employees. In addition, these expanded opportunities for education and training on an international level will increase the attractiveness of the participating insurance companies as employers. 

In this regard, Wolfgang Kindl, Member of the Management Board (Customer & Market International) of UNIQA Insurance Group AG added: "The cooperation with Eurapco is an excellent platform for international networking and further training for our employees. These exciting opportunities for the training and further education of our experts at an international level also contribute to our attractiveness as an employer."
