State Insurer Asked to Innovate

Iran Insurance Company, the sole state-owned and the largest insurance company, is expected to play a leading role in digitizing the sector and developing innovative services. 
"Given the IIC's professional workforce, we expect IIC to help expand the scope of insurance service in the country, and foster digitalization," Gholamreza Soleimani, head of the Central Insurance company of Iran, was quoted as saying at a meeting with new CEO of IIC earlier this week.
Majid Bakhtiari was appointed the new IIC boss last week. He is tasked with improving the profitability of the company, developing a core insurance platform and diversifying services.
