HDI Global Unveils Ambitious International Expansion Plan

HDI Global has unveiled a comprehensive strategy for international expansion and enhanced profitability over the next four years (2026–2029), under the banner of Accelerate29. The strategy focuses on global market growth, responsible insurance practices, claims management, human capital development, and targeted technological investments.

According to the company’s executive leadership, the plan represents a coordinated approach to operational excellence while accelerating expansion in priority markets and specialised insurance segments. The primary geographic targets include North America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, where HDI Global intends to strengthen its presence through strategic partnerships and targeted market entry initiatives.

On the product side, the company aims to bolster its specialised insurance portfolio, particularly in areas such as insurance, crisis management, surety, and credit insurance. By linking growth to robust risk management, the strategy ensures profitable and sustainable expansion.

Risk control and claims management will be executed through world-class processes and data-driven oversight. Investment management will be optimised through enhanced asset allocation, operational excellence, and strong governance frameworks, supporting risk-adjusted profit growth.

A central component of the Accelerate29 strategy is human capital development. The company plans to expand training opportunities, provide international career pathways, and cultivate a modern working environment, establishing itself as a preferred employer in the financial services sector. Simultaneously, artificial intelligence-based tools will be employed in insurance and claims processes, including risk assessment, document processing, and first-loss notifications, while final decisions remain under human oversight.

The strategy is grounded in HDI Global’s recent financial performance. In 2024, the company’s insurance revenue exceeded €10 billion for the first time, EBIT rose by 57%, and the combined ratio improved to 90.0%, providing a solid foundation to achieve its 2029 expansion and profitability objectives.
