7th Occupational Retirement Provision Forum

'Occupational Pensions at the Forefront of the European Savings and Investments Strategy'

The Hellenic Union of Institutions for Occupational Retirement Provision (H.U.I.O.R.P.) and ethosEVENTS organisized the 7th Occupational Retirement Provision Forum, which took place on Thursday, June 18, 2026, with physical attendance at the Divani Apollon Palace & Thalasso hotel, as well as simultaneous online streaming via LiveOn Events+.

The Strategic Partner of the Forum was Energizing Greece, while its execution is carried out in collaboration with the financial and business portal banks.com.gr, the insurance magazine Insurance World, and the portal insuranceworld.gr.

Conference Objectives

The 7th Occupational Insurance Conference, titled “Occupational Pensions at the Forefront of the European Savings and Investments Strategy“, aimed to review the domestic and European developments within the institution of Occupational Insurance over the past year. Special emphasis took place on the pivotal role of occupational pension schemes (IORPs) within the framework of the new European strategy to mobilize savings, channel them into productive investments, and bolster the competitiveness of the European economy. Furthermore, the conference focused on ensuring pension adequacy at an individual level and the long-term sustainability of the Insurance System at a macroeconomic level.

Through keynote speeches, empirical analyses, and in-depth presentations by distinguished Greek and international speakers, the conference seeked to provide participants with comprehensive insights into the key issues that shaped 2026 and those expected to impact the 2nd Pillar of Insurance. This was examined particularly through the lens of European policies aimed at mobilizing private savings and channeling them into the real economy. The ultimate goal of the conference was to provide a holistic approach to the philosophy, operational mechanisms, and role of Occupational Pension Funds as supplementary retirement vehicles and institutional investors, engaging all potential stakeholders in the labor market (employers and employees).

Forum Participants

The Conference was addressed to the entire Occupational Insurance ecosystem, including labor market participants, employers and employees, institutional representatives of professional groups, and regulatory authorities. It also targeted Asset Managers, Actuaries, Certified Public Accountants, Internal Auditors, and other experts currently active or seeking to enter the Occupational Retirement Provision (IORP) market.

The 7th Occupational Insurance Conference was expected to host a wide range of key stakeholders, including high-ranking Greek and international officials, distinguished guests, and representatives of social partners and institutional bodies.

Keynote Speaker

Niki Kerameus, Representative of the President of the Greek Government and Minister of Labor and Social Security, participated as the Keynote Speaker at the 7th Occupational Retirement Provision Forum.

With her presence, she contributed to the dialog on the future of occupational insurance, pension savings, and the developmental prospects of the institution in Greece and Europe.

The Forum featured high-level discussion panels covering the following topics:

  • Panel Ι: “The Savings and Investments Union as a Driver for the Development of European Capital Markets and Europe’s Competitiveness: The Pivotal Role of Occupational Pensions”

  • Panel II: “Pension Reform: Towards a Modern and Resilient Pension System in Greece”

  • Panel III: “The Need to Complete the Institutional and Regulatory Framework for Occupational Insurance to Enable the Substantive Development of the Second Pillar”

  • Panel IV: “The End of Geopolitical Innocence: The Day After”

  • Panel V: “Occupational Insurance as a Tool for Attracting, Rewarding and Incentivizing Human Capital”

  • Panel VI: “Financial Literacy as a Key Instrument for the Implementation of the Savings and Investments Union”

  • Fireside Chat I: Greece 2030: Resilience, Savings and the Future of Pensions and Growth

  • Panel VII: “Navigating Investment Policy in Times of Uncertainty”

  • Fireside Chat II: “The Development of Occupational Insurance as a Policy Victory for Future Generations”

Through the keynote individual interventions and panel discussions it hosted, the Forum aimed to:

  • Highlight the challenges and growth prospects of Occupational Insurance within the framework of the European strategy for enhancing savings and investments
  • Record European and international developments in the 2nd Pillar of Insurance at both institutional and operational levels and
  • Present the advantages and benefits that Occupational Pension Funds (IORPs) can offer to the labor and business communities, as well as to the overall economic and social life of a country. This is achieved through ensuring pension income adequacy and a decent standard of living for employees post-retirement, as well as through their contribution to the long-term financing of the economy.
