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.
