**IFTRIP:** As the only forum of its kind in the world, the aim of IFTRIP is to support initiatives for closer international collaboration between sovereign-backed terrorism reinsurance pools. The annual IFTRIP Conference provides a platform for the exchange of experience in mitigation and capacity building against economic loss resulting from terrorism. IFTRIP also coordinates and contributes to international and cross-sectoral working groups on a variety of topical issues, from cyber terrorism to nuclear pool coverage. The primary principle of IFTRIP is to share ideas and best practice by providing a forum for the exchange of knowledge, information and experience in mitigation and capacity building against economic loss resulting from catastrophic events.
