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.
