The theme of this year’s summit – ‘Innovate for Next Gen’, will explore diverse elements shaping
the future of global economy

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) and
the SuperBridge Council have announced that the highly anticipated second edition of the
SuperBridge Summit 2024 (https://SuperBridgeDubai.com)will be held on 15-16 October 2024, at
the One&Only One Za’abeel, Dubai. The two-day summit will coincide with GITEX Global,
bringing together future leaders of the global economy in one venue.

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.”
