In a spectacular display of intellectual prowess and industry expertise, CIC Insurance Uganda was crowned the champion of the 2026 Insurance Industry Quiz. Hosted by the Insurance Training College (ITC), this annual flagship event transformed the venue into a vibrant battleground of knowledge, bringing together the sharpest minds from across the sector for an afternoon of intense, high-stakes competition.
Seventeen of the industry's leading insurance companies answered the call, assembling their top teams ready to prove their mettle. From the opening bell, even the heavy rain could not dumpen the resolve of the participants. The atmosphere was electric, charged with anticipation as the contestants prepared to dissect complex questions spanning the entire insurance spectrum. The quiz master tested the finalists on everything from the nuances of claims, liability, and underwriting to the intricacies of policies, commissions, risk management, and the latest in industry regulation. It was a true test of both academic grounding and on-the-ground practical experience.
Officially opening the event, Paul Katabalwa, Head of Membership and Compliance at ITC, highlighted the deeper purpose of the gathering. "This quiz is more than just a competition," he remarked. "It is a dynamic forum for collaboration and knowledge sharing that ultimately strengthens our entire industry. These platforms are vital catalysts for continuous learning and professional growth."
The battle for the title was fierce and unforgiving. The competition unfolded over four gruelling rounds, each meticulously designed to push teams to their limits. Participants navigated rapid-fire questions, tackled real-world case studies, and relied on seamless teamwork under immense pressure. You could see the concentration on their faces as they weighed their responses, the huddles of teammates strategizing their next move, and the collective gasps from the audience with every perfectly delivered answer—or unexpected stumble.
After a nail-biting final round that kept the audience on the edge of their seats, CIC Insurance Uganda emerged victorious. They demonstrated not only superior technical knowledge but also remarkable consistency and flawless teamwork throughout the contest. Britam Uganda delivered a powerful performance to secure the runner-up position, while Gold Star Insurance Group fought hard to claim a well-deserved third place.
As the competitors waited for the announcement of the final results, the Principal of ITC, Saul Sseremba, reflected on the significance of the event. "Congratulations to all the teams for making this such a memorable contest. Today proved that professional development extends far beyond the classroom. It thrives in environments like this, where professionals connect, challenge each other, and exchange ideas that will shape the future of our sector."
He further emphasized how many professionals struggle with basic principles. “What seem like straightforward questions in the quiz are core principles that some professionals still find challenging in practice. So, do not overlook the ‘simple’ things, as they form the foundation for more complex issues," he added.
The 2026 ITC Insurance Industry Quiz was a resounding success, reinforcing the value of collaborative learning and setting a new benchmark for professional engagement. We look forward to seeing even more teams step into the arena next year!
