She will discuss how actuaries can take a forward-looking role and better assist companies in risk management throughout the entire business operation chain to achieve professional value of prevention before problems arise. 

On the other hand, while supporting the stable operation of insurance companies and realising value, actuaries also need to effectively manage risks and reduce the impact of uncertainties on the market environment.
