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.
