Bermuda is known for its pink sand beaches, robust insurance and reinsurance industry and world class financial regulator. These foundational pillars have enabled this isolated island to become a world class financial center and high-end tourism destination, but as volatility has shaken the global financial markets, Bermuda has been forced to diversify and rethink its strategy to enable economic growth. This panel will highlight innovative companies and projects that signal the blossoming of a new paradigm in Bermuda that embraces our blue economy, unique ecosystems and heritage, and leverages our blue-chip financial reputation to attract world-class companies who are building the foundation of a new Innovation Hub in the North Atlantic.
