Summary
In a comprehensive report covering the period from 2017 to 2025, the Insurers Federation of Egypt presented a transformational journey—one that shifted its role from a regulatory umbrella to a strategic engine driving the insurance industry in Egypt.
The Federation’s vision extended beyond supporting member companies; it focused on building a resilient, knowledge-based ecosystem that integrates insurance into Egypt’s economic, social, and environmental agenda.
Turning Events into Strategic Tools
The Insurers Federation of Egypt adopted an unconventional approach, using conferences, forums, and initiatives not just for networking, but as real instruments to shape policy, educate the market, and drive change.
Between 2017 and 2025, the Federation organized more than 50 major local and international events, gathering over 24,700 participants, featuring 55 experts annually, and attracting coverage from over 35 media outlets per edition.

The annual Sharm Rendezvous for Insurance and Reinsurance became a flagship initiative, evolving into a regional platform that connects Egypt’s insurance market with global stakeholders.
By its 7th edition in 2025, the Rendezvous had earned its place among the most influential industry gatherings in the region—fostering strategic dialogue, investment opportunities, and cooperation agreements.
Luxor Microinsurance Conference: A Platform for Inclusive Growth
Launched in 2018, the Luxor Conference for Microinsurance became a cornerstone for financial inclusion. Reaching its fourth edition by 2025, the conference developed into a regional hub that tackled challenges and opportunities in microinsurance.
It featured hands-on workshops aimed at developing affordable insurance products for low-income segments and encouraging insurers to embrace inclusive practices.
IFE MARATHON: Bringing Insurance Closer to Everyday Life
To bridge the gap between the insurance sector and the wider public, the Federation launched the annual IFE MARATHON in 2018.
Over six editions, thousands of participants from both the industry and the general public joined in.
The event promoted health awareness, preventive care, and a deeper connection between insurance and well-being—repositioning insurance as a lifestyle, not just a policy.
Global Platforms Strengthen Egypt’s Position
