✏️ General Introduction 

Large-scale projects—such as infrastructure, energy, industrial developments, and public mega-initiatives—represent major financial and operational commitments, often spanning years and involving multiple stakeholders.

These projects are highly exposed to complex risks, whether technical, contractual, environmental, or financial.

As a result, insurance plays a vital role not just in protection, but as a strategic tool in project continuity, financing, and stakeholder assurance.

This workshop addresses the multifaceted technical and operational dimensions of insuring large-scale projects.

Over the course of five days, participants will explore the types of coverages required at various phases—from construction to commissioning and operation—along with risk assessment models, claims handling strategies, and the impact of legal, regulatory, and international considerations.

The sessions are designed to bridge insurance with project planning and execution, giving professionals the insight and tools needed to structure insurance programs that are comprehensive, adaptive, and aligned with project realities.
