By / July 2, 2024 / APO, Media

The Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) and the SuperBridge Council have announced that the highly
anticipated second edition of the SuperBridge Summit 2024 (https://SuperBridgeDubai.com) will be
held on 15-16 October 2024, at the One&Only One Za’abeel, Dubai. The two-day summit will coincide
with GITEX Global, bringing together future leaders of the global economy in one venue.

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.
