Wrapping up 2025 – QBE

As we close out the year, it’s a great time to reflect on the milestones that have shaped QBE New Zealand’s journey in 2025.

Innovation at the Core

QBE’s vision has always been anchored in continuous innovation. With nearly 125 years of experience, we remain focused on building a more resilient future for generations to come. In a world of rapid technological and environmental change, innovation is not optional – it’s essential.

This quarter, that commitment was reflected in the launch of two market-leading products designed to help businesses navigate some of today’s most pressing risks:

  • QCyberProtect – Introduced in October, this new cyber insurance solution gives Kiwi businesses the confidence to thrive in a digital world. Tailored for SMEs, mid-market, and corporate customers, QCyberProtect addresses the evolving cyber threats that challenge businesses every day.
  • Rebuild Resilient – An optional extension to property policies, designed to empower businesses to rebuild stronger and smarter after environmental disasters. This product reflects QBE’s dedication to resilience in the face of climate-related challenges.

These launches, alongside QBE’s bold new brand campaign running through to May, reinforce our position as a forward-thinking insurer with innovation at the heart of everything we do.

Supporting Industry and Future Talent

Beyond product innovation, QBE has continued to invest in the future of the insurance industry. As a platinum sponsor of Young Insurance Professionals (YIPs), we’ve helped create opportunities for learning and networking, supporting the next generation of talent.

In August, we hosted Beyond the Grind, a sold-out wellness event exploring mental health in high-performance environments across finance, insurance, and law. The event brought together 54 YIPs members for an engaging panel discussion and an interactive wellbeing session led by renowned coach Gen Illolahia – equipping attendees with practical tools to manage stress and burnout.

Looking Ahead to 2026

As we move into 2026, QBE is excited for what’s ahead: more innovation, greater brand visibility, and an unwavering commitment to delivering value for our customers and communities
