global leaders for economic innovation

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.

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.”
