Insurance Talk – Prevention before repair: Risk engineering in action

Prevention before repair. Real performance is reducing risk before it materializes.

What if the best claim payment is the one you never need?

In this episode, Dimitri Nys explains how risk engineering puts prevention ahead of protection, with thousands of on-site visits and recommendations backed by scientific research. Priority risks include fire, flooding, storms, equipment breakdown, and the rise of cyber threats. The approach aims to cut interruptions, strengthen resilience, and lower the total cost of risk.

We explore the technologies transforming prevention: artificial intelligence and machine learning for predictive modeling, sensors and telemetry for real-time data, and digital twins to test scenarios in a controlled environment.

Focus on Luxembourg. A new Science and Technology Center of more than 25,000 m² is under construction, with an opening planned for 2027. It will serve as an EMEA hub for research, innovation, and client engagement, with a focus on climate perils, industrial technologies, and cyber loss prevention.

These episodes are part of an ACA initiative designed to showcase the Non-Life Insurance and Reinsurance sector in Luxembourg.
