Our History
In 1992, the Eureko Board aimed to enhance leadership understanding of the market and industry trends. The first Executive Programme launched in May 1993 with INSEAD Business School. Later collaborations included Ashridge Business School (2003), Business School St. Gallen (2012), and London Business School (2018).
The Eureko Academy, established on July 25, 1994, fostered know-how exchange. A management exchange program facilitated experience transfer within the alliance.
The Eurekans Programme for high-potential managers stemmed from the Executive Programme. In 2012, the Leadership Experience began, focusing on strategy, leadership, and transformation.
In 2012, the Eureko Academy became the Achmea Academy, still delivering leadership programs for Eurapco.
In 2016, the Eurapco Academy was formed, and specialist programmes were introduced, starting with the Actuary Programme.
In 2016, the first Leadership Alumni Event occurred, addressing participants’ desire to maintain the Ashridge experience. The Learning Leaders network was launched in 2018, fostering collaboration among Eurapco Partner academies.
In recent years, specialist programs like Claims, Cyber Risk, Property Underwriters, Data Science, and Design Thinking were introduced. Investing in dedicated, motivated, and well-trained employees cultivates a high-performance culture.
