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.
