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.
