THE Insurance Institute of Zimbabwe (IIZ) is banking on collaborations as it seeks to grow the multi-million-dollar insurance industry.

IIZ’s push to grow the insurance industry comes as the sector is facing headwinds, forcing it to be innovative and keep abreast of the times.

The just-ended IIZ Winter School held last week in Nyanga underscored the need for the insurance industry to collaborate both within itself as well as with other industries.

IIZ general manager Davison Choeni told NewsDay Business that the institution was in talks with various players in the economy on how they could collaborate to drive economic growth.

“I think we have created excitement already. You remember, we were just rewarded. We are getting some awards. But, there is the Zimbabwe network for CEOs [chief executive officers] that have recognised us a month ago on the programmes that we are doing and we believe we need to continue in that trajectory,” he said.

“And one of the things that we will be doing is to keep on soliciting and looking out for opportunities in terms of collaborations. During this conference, there was talk of the launch of an Artificial Intelligence Institute of Zimbabwe. We want to get into that space and see how we can benefit our people. So, we are looking at collaboration.”

Choeni said the institute would also continue on the same trajectory of identifying relevant topics that spoke to the insurance industry’s skills development.

He added that there were ongoing discussions with the Marketers Association of Zimbabwe (Maz) for a possible collaboration.
