About us
Overview
Launched in 2019, the Corporate Risk Management Institute (CRMI) is the fruit of a partnership between Chedid Capital, a leading insurance and reinsurance investment group, and London’s Institute of Risk Management (IRM).
Our Institute was founded on a vision to create a central, regional knowledge exchange and educational hub first, centers of excellence next, for GRC (Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance) across MENA markets and organizations.
Guided by this vision, we equip businesses and people with accredited courses and diplomas to help them navigate, master, and lead the complex risk management realm across borders and sectors – from foundational knowledge to more advanced learning tracks.

Our ambition
Building economic and business resilience in the MENA region
Our mission is to promote, formalize, and mainstream risk management and resilience planning among MENA organizations and professionals, beyond borders and across sectors.
Our goal is to build a regional hub for knowledge exchange and leadership development, where risk-informed strategies drive economic sustainability and business continuity. Our comprehensive curriculum encompasses all aspects of resilience planning, equipping organizations to thrive in the interconnected, tech-driven economy of the future.
Beyond GRC education, we guide and work with MENA organizations to establish, design, and implement risk and resilience strategies. Our experts and trusted advisors help clients navigate and future-proof their operations against uncertainty.
