Advance

Munich Re’s Top Talent Programme 2022
30 May to 8 July 2022

Get in touch

Advance, an exclusive six-week invitation-only programme for our most-valued clients, aims to boost business expertise, upskill leadership competences, and connect insurance industry managers. The business-school-oriented curriculum is open to just twelve participants each year. In 2022, our focus is on megatrends that will impact our sector already now and in the future.

Why Advance?

Originating in 1953, the Advance programme has a long tradition at Munich Re. Its core motivation remains the same: connecting people and providing expert support. Today’s Advance programme equips the industry’s top talents from all over the globe with the knowledge and skills required in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (“VUCA”) world. The selected candidates will get the opportunity to work on real industry challenges together with Munich Re experts and – last but not least – establish a strong and lasting (re)insurance network.

The Advance programme is hosted by Torsten Jeworrek, Member of the Board of Management of Munich Reinsurance Company.

The Advance programme takes place at Munich Re’s headquarters in Munich, Germany, from Monday, 30 May to Friday, 8 July 2022. Participants will be staying at the Munich Re Guest House, located close to the company’s main building in the heart of Schwabing.
