HDI Global understands the significance of market proximity, regional personal support, and speedy services when it comes to providing suitable insurance solutions for this market segment.

"As our reputation for underwriting excellence and client centricity is built on the commitment to quick responses, reliable services, and worldwide compliance, our aiming for mid-market partnerships comes as a natural in times of accelerated transformation for many companies." Dr Mukadder Erdönmez - Member of the HDI Global SE Executive Board, responsible for Third-party Liability, Cyber Insurance and Motor.

HDI Global has already been offering services to mid-market clients, but with recent developments, the focus has strengthened.
