On February 13th, Methaq Takaful Insurance hosted a landmark innovation workshop at the Millennium Hotel Abu Dhabi, marking a significant step in our digital transformation journey. The event, part of UAE Innovates 2025, brought together over 100 team members to explore the future of insurance in the age of artificial intelligence.
The afternoon began with an inspiring opening address from our CEO, who emphasized Methaq’s commitment to enhancing our established strengths through thoughtful innovation. The highlight of the event was a comprehensive presentation by Saif and Maitha from our Innovation & AI Department, exploring how emerging technologies are reshaping insurance services.
The presentation covered crucial areas including:
- Global insurance technology trends
- UAE’s position in the innovation landscape
- Practical applications of AI in insurance
- Methaq’s innovation roadmap
- The human element in digital transformation
What made the event particularly engaging was the interactive Innovation Exchange session, where team members’ pre-submitted questions were addressed. The discussion ranged from practical implementation queries to strategic considerations about our digital future.
Key Insights from the Q&A Session:
- How AI will enhance rather than replace human expertise
- The role of digital transformation in strengthening broker relationships
- Maintaining Shariah compliance in technological advancement
- Our approach to predictive insurance solutions
- The future of customer service in a digital age
The workshop wasn’t just about presenting ideas – it was about starting a conversation that will continue as we move forward with our innovation initiatives. In the coming weeks, we’ll be launching several programs that will allow every team member to contribute to our digital evolution.
