8/5/24, 5:18 PM SuperBridge Summit 2024 to Convene ‘Next Gen’ Global Leaders for Economic Innovation
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.
