The theme of this year’s summit – ‘Innovate for Next Gen’, will
explore diverse elements shaping the future of global economy,
across five key topics: ‘Economic Powerhouse’, ‘Technology and
Industrial Transformation’, ‘Leadership and Human Equity’, ‘Life
and Wellbeing’, and ‘Wealth and Investment’. The term ‘innovate’ in
the theme embodies a proactive approach to seeking solutions for
the world’s most urgent challenges, while ‘Next Gen’ underscores
the multi-dimensional facets of global economic forces, technology,
leadership, wellbeing and investment.
Following the success of last year’s edition, which hosted 58
revered speakers - including seven ministers from such as UAE,
Egypt, Pakistan, Morocco, Benin, and Lebanon - several key speakers
have expressed their interest in returning. The inaugural summit
welcomed over 400 chairpersons and CEOs, and over 2000 C-level
attendees, collectively overseeing a capital base of USD 3.5
trillion across 140 financial institutions with a combined
corporate wealth of USD 900 billion. The summit also saw
participation from the representatives of the UAE Ministry of
Economy and leading conglomerates such as Trip.com, Asset
Management One (Japan), and Beijing Academy of AI, among
others.
His Excellency Helal Saeed Almarri, Director General of Dubai
Department of Economy and Tourism, and DWTC, said: “Hosting the
SuperBridge Summit 2024 underscores our strategic role as a global
nexus for innovation and cross-regional investments. Our advanced
financial infrastructure, commitment to cutting-edge technologies,
and visionary leadership align seamlessly with the summit's focus
on fostering the next generation of leaders. Dubai’s dedication to
economic diversification, high living standards, and thriving
business environment make it the perfect destination to inspire and
connect global innovators.”
Vanessa Xu, Executive Chairman & CIO of VS Partners and
co-founder of the SuperBridge Council, added: “We are thrilled
to announce that we will be hosting the second edition of the
SuperBridge Summit, which represents a visionary and bold
initiative made possible through our collaboration with DWTC. The
resounding success of last year’s edition is a testament to the
burgeoning economic prowess of the world’s east and south. The
summit serves as a hub for interdisciplinary and international
partnerships, highlighting emerging talents poised to tackle global
challenges directly.”
The SuperBridge Summit is known to be a key enabler of positive
economic impact. For instance, Trip.com, the founding sponsor of
last year’s summit, inaugurated its Dubai office following the
event, undertaking major travel expansion initiatives. Moreover, a
prototype and live demo of tokenization platform called Project
Diamond of Coinbase Asset Management was featured at the summit. It
sparked a lot of engagement, and the platform is now live.
