Munich Re

The world's largest reinsurer and a leading provider of insurance-related risk solutions.

Founded in 1880 and headquartered in Munich, Germany, Munich Re is a global leader in reinsurance, primary insurance, and risk solutions. The company has consistently held the top position in the global reinsurance market among the Top 50 reinsurance groups since 2010, with the exception of 2017.

The company operates through three primary segments: its core Reinsurance business covering property & casualty and life & health; ERGO, a primary insurance subsidiary focused on Europe and Asia; and MEAG, its asset management arm. In 2024, the group reported insurance revenue of €60.8bn and a net profit of €5.7bn, employing over 43,000 people globally.

Given its scale and role in managing complex risks for insurers, corporations, and public-sector clients, innovations in risk management and insurance solutions are highly relevant to its operations as it pursues a 2025 profit target of €6 billion.
