Who Are We?

In spring 2020, the GrECo Academy was established to enhance skills and knowledge in the insurance business. GrECo Academy’s activities focus on the individual personal development of GrECo Group employees. As a non-profit organisation, the GrECo Academy offers its programmes not only to GrECo employees but also to students, GrECo clients as well as prospective clients and business partners. Our cooperation partner is the renowed Johanes Kepler Universitz (JKU).

Due to my university background the active exchange between universities and the insurance industry has been of great importance to me throughout my professional life.
