We all know people who give us courage. We all have moments in life that make us stronger. This is what sparks our confidence.

As a partner of the Olympic and Paralympic Movements, Allianz supports people from all walks of life to help them achieve their goals.

As our films show, some are athletes who have overcome challenges to reach new frontiers. Others are Allianz agents and employees whose passion motivates them to go further.

On each step of their journey, Allianz is right behind them, giving them courage for what’s ahead. Discover their #SparkConfidence stories.
