A Global Gathering of 7,000+ Financial Insurance Elites ABU DHABI, UAE, Aug. 11, 2025 /CNW/ -- The 2025 International Dragon Award (IDA) Annual Conference will be held with grandeur from August 9 to 12, 2025 in Abu Dhabi, the dynamic capital of the United Arab Emirates and a globally renowned "City of Oil". This landmark event is set to convene over 7,000 delegates—including financial insurance elites, senior executives of insurance companies, and industry experts and scholars from across the world—to explore emerging trends, challenges and opportunities within the insurance industry. In 1998, IMM International officially established the International Dragon Award (IDA), intending to set a fair and objective benchmark for the global insurance industry and to uphold the values of "Paragon, Perfection, Nobility". After over two decades of industry engagement, the IDA has garnered widespread acclaim and respect across the industry, establishing itself as an internationally admired honor among financial insurance practitioners. Today, a number of financial insurance institutions have incorporated IDA into their corporate recognition frameworks. By 2025, over 181,000 financial insurance elites from more than 250 insurance institutions across 17 countries and regions have earned the IDA distinction, including 585 IDA Life Members and 16 inductees into the prestigious IDA Hall of Fame. This year also sees 17 outstanding sales teams receiving the esteemed "IDA Hundred-Elite Team" title. As a premier, high-caliber event of vital significance to the global insurance sector, the IDA Annual Conference celebrates the achievements of its members, while empowering financial insurance practitioners worldwide with cutting-edge industry insights, marketing expertise, and leadership philosophies. Since 2000, IMM International has hosted 24 editions of the conference in major cities across the globe—including Chiang Mai, Singapore, Seoul, Sydney, Kuala Lumpur, Dubai, Melbourne, Bangkok, and multiple cities in China. Its debut in Abu Dhabi in 2025 marks a significant milestone in the conference's global journey. Centered on the theme "Devotion", this year's conference will unite over 120 senior executives from insurance companies, excellent sales agency leaders, top-tier sales agents, and experts and scholars from various fields globally. Featuring over 60 high-value, in-depth sharing sessions—including 12 main sessions, 43 breakout sessions, and 10 "International Finance Outlook Forum" sessions convening financial experts and senior executives from insurance companies—the event will offer a dynamic, open, and interdisciplinary platform for meaningful exchange of ideas, driving continued prosperity and development across the insurance industry. IDA Grand Celebration: Thousands Rise to Claim their IDA Honor As the global insurance industry navigates new challenges emerging in the 2025 volatile economic climate, a resilient cohort of outstanding insurance professionals has chosen to rise against the headwinds, ultimately earning the prestigious IDA honor with their exceptional performance and unwavering resolve. As the highest tribute to the leading force of the industry, this conference has meticulously curated two signature events: "Honor Salute" and "Dragon Night". During these ceremonial sessions, more than 4,000 IDA members will stride along the Walk of Fame marked by "Paragon, Perfection, Nobility", and step proudly onto the award stage to celebrate a glorious moment shared by dedicated achievers. Guided by the ideals of the IDA honor, these distinguished IDA honorees have diligently fulfilled the noble mission of serving 36 households each year. With remarkable professional expertise and selfless dedication, they have not only provided robust insurance protections for their clients, but also exemplified the highest standards of excellence within the insurance industry. The "Honor Salute" and "Dragon Night" award ceremonies celebrate their individual achievements and highlight the enduring value of their professionalism and services. Among the many accolades, two hold particular distinction: The Worldwide Chinese Life Insurance Lifetime Achievement Award, the highest honor in the global insurance field, is bestowed upon individuals who have dedicated more than 40 years to the industry, made significant contributions, and commanded wide respect. In 2025, this prestigious accolade goes to Mr. Tan Kar Hor, who has held senior executive roles such as general manager, chief executive committee, and chairman at PAMB, CITIC-Prudential Life, AIA Group and other leading insurance companies at home and abroad. His achievements serve as a source of inspiration for insurance practitioners to embrace challenges and press forward with courage. The IDA Hall of Fame recognizes individuals who have earned the IDA distinction for 24 consecutive years or 30 cumulative years. These exemplary honorees are crowned with a commemorative seal as a tribute to their steadfast commitment and pioneering spirit in the insurance profession. Contributing to Industry Legacy, Forging Shared Glory: Official Announcement of Global Rankings for IDA Member Companies In 2024, the IDA released its Inaugural Official Announcement of Global Rankings for IDA Member Companies in Hong Kong, China, revealing key development trends and indicators of excellence within the global financial insurance industry. These insights provide invaluable guidance for financial insurance institutions and sales teams. For insurance institutions, the number of IDA members serves as a critical metric of productivity and quality. The presence of a greater number of IDA members within a financial insurance institution reflects its ability to evolve with the industry trends and maintain steady growth in overall performance & productivity, recruitment & training, and talent retention. To further support industry advancement, the IDA Executive Committee will release the Official Announcement of 2025 Global Rankings for IDA Member Companies at the upcoming Abu Dhabi conference. Meanwhile, the IDA Data Analytics Expert Committee has been officially established, comprising distinguished insurance professionals appointed for their expertise in industry insights and trend analysis, and renowned professionalism and credibility.

This year's official announcement also features the presentation of "IDA World Record" awards, designed to celebrate peak achievements and inspire financial insurance practitioners worldwide to benchmark against top performers, strive for continuous advancement and improvement, and ultimately create their own IDA records. The Official Announcement of Global Rankings for IDA Member Companies embodies the mission and determination of IMM International and IDA to enhance the professional competency, image, and social standing of practitioners in the global financial insurance industry. It defines clear benchmarks for enduring excellence and sustainable growth, while offering financial insurance institutions valuable reference, guidance, and support in institutional mechanisms and product development—ultimately driving the global insurance industry's transformation toward high-quality development. Moving forward, IDA will continue its steadfast commitment to fostering the prosperity, development, and advancement of the global financial insurance sector, partnering with leading institutions and exceptional professionals in their quest for unparalleled excellence.

European company bidding to build a dozen navy submarines seeking partners in B.C.
Canada plans to buy subs 'off the shelf' from an ally's shipyard but is expected to generate substantial domestic participation, particularly in West Coast maintenance. Joachim Schönfeld of Thyssenkrup Marine Systems in downtown Vancouver on Friday. Photo by Arlen Redekop / PNG Canada won't decide who will build new submarines for the Royal Canadian Navy until 2028, but the program is lucrative enough that bidders are already working to shore up suppliers and support, including those on the West Coast.

Access articles from across Canada with one account Share your thoughts and join the conversation in the comments Enjoy additional articles per month Get email updates from your favourite authors In July 2024, then-defence minister Bill Blair unveiled a plan to buy up to 12 new submarines for the navy, capable of patrolling the Arctic. 'When you read up to 12 submarines, then you get really excited,' said Joachim Schönfeld, senior representative in Canada for German-based Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems, one of five potential bidders to the patrol submarine project. 'That is of extreme, extreme interest for the company,' Schönfeld said of the joint German/Norwegian proposal Thyssenkrupp is submitting. The government has not released details about the project's budget, but Postmedia defence journalist David Pugliese reported an estimate would be in the tens of billions of dollars over the lifetime of the vessels.

Besides Thyssenkrupp, bidders from Spain, France, Sweden and South Korea have responded to Ottawa's request for information, the initial phase of the procurement process. The winner will build the vessels in their home country. Workers at the Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems shipyard fix a bottle of champagne as they prepare the christening of a new submarine at the company's shipyard in Kiel, northern Germany, in 2022. The company is leading a German-Norwegian bid to bid a class of 12 larger, more advanced submarines for Canada. Photo by GREGOR FISCHER / AFP via Getty Images Schönfeld visited Victoria and Vancouver last week to start lining up potential partners in Thyssenkrupp's bid to supply Canada with the same Class 212CD submarine it is developing for Germany and Norway, which uses hydrogen fuel cells to provide long underwater endurance. A significant opportunity lies in developing the West Coast maintenance facility the navy would need for the program, which is what specifically brought Schönfeld to Victoria and Vancouver. 'You cannot start early enough to find the right partners and to prepare everything to be ready when the first submarine will be delivered,' Schönfeld said. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. He said he had plans to meet with existing shipyards, including Seaspan, which already has a close relationship with Thyssenkrupp. Seaspan is building joint support ships for the Royal Canadian Navy based on designs by Thyssenkrupp. 'The very short answer is it's huge,' Dave Hargreaves, senior vice-president at Seaspan Shipyards, said of the potential opportunity. Seaspan is already involved in submarine maintenance as the main contractor for the Royal Canadian Navy's existing four Victoria Class submarines and has built up considerable expertise over the last 15 years. Hargreaves said Seaspan has had close discussions with all five bidders in the competition. He added that they all have somewhat different proposals and levels of experience, but the program as a whole would represent a doubling of the navy's maintenance requirement. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Hargreaves said the existing maintenance program supports some 250 jobs at facilities in Victoria, which could expand to about 1,000 skilled positions. That would include positions to maintain electronic and electrical systems, steel fabrication and other core systems. 'It will be a significantly larger operation than we have today, so it does represent a significant opportunity for us on the West Coast, most likely in the Victoria area,' Hargreaves said. With a 30- to 40-year design life for the subs, Hargreaves added that such an operation would be long-term, building on Seaspan's work to build vessels for the navy and Coast Guard under the National Shipbuilding Strategy. The submarine program coincides with Prime Minister Mark Carney's commitments to increase defence spending and reduce Canada's dependence on U.S. defence contractors, which has B.C. looking for its own ways of supporting the effort. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Jobs Minister Ravi Kahlon wasn't made available for an interview Thursday, but the Globe and Mail reported his confirmation that the province will release its own defence industry framework in October. In a statement in response to Postmedia questions, Kahlon said the province 'recognizes the broader challenges facing our nation' when it comes to defending its sovereignty. He referred to the increased focus on defence as a 'timely and strategic opportunity for B.C.' 'Overall, B.C. is uniquely positioned to play a critical role in advancing Canada's defence priorities, offering proven industrial capacity, cutting-edge innovation and strategic geography that together drive national security, economic growth and global competitiveness,' Kahlon said. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. In March, Postmedia's Pugliese reported on a delegation South Korea sent to Ottawa that pitched the newly developed KSS-III submarine in its own fleet as an option, with significant benefits for Canadian industry. It is too early to guess whether any bidder has an advantage, but Schönfeld said Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems will look to 'Canadianize our current supply chain,' as the program advances. Canada anticipates a contract award by 2028 with the first delivery of a submarine by 2035. Schönfeld said Thyssenkrupp is expanding its capacity to build submarines for its own program to build 12 submarines for Germany and Norway. But to underline the company's commitment, he said Norway and Germany have agreed they'll adjust their own delivery schedules to make sure Canada could get its first new Class 212CD sooner than 2035. depenner@ Read More University Local News Local News Sports Op-Ed
