The Bermuda Business Development Agency is hosting “A London Forum: The Bermuda Advantage” at the Mayfair Hotel next Thursday.

The BDA said they would engage with UK business leaders on how Bermuda is responding to the evolution of global finance.

David Burt, the Premier and Minister of Finance, will provide opening remarks and meet representatives from the UK’s tech, private wealth and risk sectors.

Jason Hayward, the Minister of Economy and Labour, will participate in a fireside chat about the Benefit Entities Act 2025 and the Trustee Amendment Act 2025, two pieces of recently passed legislation that strengthen Bermuda’s position as a trusted jurisdiction for modern wealth planning and corporate governance.

During the forum, breakout sessions include a discussion on private wealth. As global markets evolve and wealth moves across borders, investors are seeking regulatory structures that protect and grow capital. This session will explore how Bermuda enables cross-border investment and private wealth strategies through innovative legislation and investment trust leadership.

Another session will centre on technology and innovation. Bermuda has established itself as the premier jurisdiction for digital asset companies. This session will explore how the digital asset business, wealth management and insurtech converge in the jurisdiction through regulation and infrastructure.

A third session will focus on risk and insurance. Bermuda has long been recognised as the “world’s risk capital” thanks to its capital efficiency and regulatory leadership.

This session will showcase how Bermuda continues to advance insurance and reinsurance solutions and insurtech development.

Mr Hayward said: “Bermuda is seeing strong economic momentum. Our legacy in global business, bold vision for innovation and commitment to workforce empowerment, are advancing a top tier business ecosystem.”

David Parker, the head of business development at the BDA, said: “The London Forum is an opportunity to demonstrate the global relevance of the work happening across our three strongest sectors: finance, technology and insurance.

“Our markets have long been connected through shared regulatory standards, deep capital and risk ties, and a mutual focus on innovation.

“Meeting in London allows us to highlight how this, coupled with Bermuda’s ability to foster collaboration across these sectors, helps drive investment and define this next phase of global, financial and risk management.”
