This new partnership will support ongoing innovation, leadership and industry impact across the insurance sector.
EDII is proud to announce a strategic partnership with CGI, one of the largest IT and business consulting firms in the world, to sponsor the Digital Minds Alumni community – a fast-growing network of professionals driving innovation across the insurance sector.
This collaboration reflects a shared belief in the value of continued learning, practical leadership, and new mindsets across all levels of the industry.

Alongside ongoing development and community, Digital Minds Alumni will now benefit from:
Exposure to real-world innovation
CGI brings cross-sector insight from banking, health, government, energy, retail and beyond, helping alumni explore transformation from other industry perspectives.
Future-focused insights
From AI and automation to cybersecurity and digital ethics, alumni will gain practical tools and insights to lead innovation with confidence.
Connection to CGI’s global innovation thought leadership
Exclusive events, content and collaboration opportunities will help alumni stay informed, connected and visible in a changing market.
