Insurance Risk Syndication of the Future
EuroDIEM is developing a European platform to industrialize syndication of large and unconventional insurance risks, decreasing the protection gap and doubling the size of the insurance market, combined with a European PPP.
The Growing Protection Gap
Europe faces a significant and growing protection gap across various risk categories, with estimated annual uninsured losses of €200 billion that could be covered by the private market.
Natural Catastrophes
Increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters create significant financial exposure.
Industrial Risks
Complex industrial risks require innovative insurance solutions.
Cyber Risk
Evolving cyber threats pose new challenges for traditional insurance.
Long Term Care
Aging populations create new insurance challenges across Europe.
The Protection Gap Challenge
Which main causes ?
Reasons for the protection gap are multiple, involving both supply and demand.
Supply-Side Challenges
✓ Limited risk appetite for emerging risks
✓ High cost of capital for large and unconventional risks
✓ Concentrated capacity, insufficient infrastructures facilitating syndication
Consequences
✓ Lower prevention
✓ Significant losses and slow recovery
✓ Higher government debt, inefficient risk management
Demand-Side Challenges
✓ Affordability (high cost of capital, limited prevention, low volumes)
✓ Fragmented/lack of clear access
✓ Reliance on public support
The Solution
Syndicating Supply, Boosting Demand
Sharing risks via syndication mechanisms (coinsurance or securitization) decreases the cost of capital, igniting the spark that unlocks risk appetite, lowering premium levels, improving affordability, fostering demand.
Risk Syndication Made Simple and How to Industrialize it
Rather than finding one carrier matching 100% of the capacity, let's find more easily multiple carriers to share the capacity thanks to EuroDIEM
Creating a syndication platform will allow undertaking smaller and more numerous risk portions, creating a wider pool at scale, attracting more carriers/investors to access the insurance risk transfer market with a lower cost of capital.

Participant Types
Insurance companies
Insurance companies already underwriting such risks, but also new entrants such as local mutuals and bancassurers now able to test these new waters both on the B2B and B2B+ market with small exposures (%)
Risk Transferors
SMEs, corporates, sponsors, and cedants seeking to transfer risk through the EuroDIEM platform
Other non-Insurance companies
Other non insurance investors: private equity, pension funds, family offices.
B2B: coinsurance
Matching the customer (SME/corporate) risks with insurance carriers risk appetite
B2B+: securitization
Matching sponsors/cedants risks with investors risk appetite (of which (re) insurance carriers)
The B2B market is dedicated to commercial risks (corporate and SMEs) and the B2B+ market
deals with both commercial and bundled securitized retail individual risks
EuroDIEM operates at EU+EFTA level, bringing significant geographical capital diversification and risk mutualization

EuroDIEM also combines a data sharing module and Public-Private
Data Sharing Module
Data is an essential enabler in the matchmaking capabilities of the platform. It is also a key factor of price reduction boosting demand and prevention as data collection accelerates.
✓ Consolidates aggregated and anonymized data
✓ Provides valuable insights for risk assessment and pricing
✓ Enhances market transparency while protecting confidentiality
✓ Data is retrievable at a meaningful granular level by market participants
Public-Private Partnerships
The primary objective is to increase the size of the private insurance market, reducing the burden of national and (supra)national debt, while still keeping PPPs, but at a higher attachment point than today.
✓ PPPs comfort the private sector in taking risks
✓ Encourage governments in investing in risk-reducing infrastructures
✓ Combines private, private & public, and public layers on one platform
The proposed schemes are consistent with the Decembre 2024 ECB/EIOPA joint report proposal, expending though to risks beyond nat cat property risks
