SuperBridge Summit 2024 to Convene ‘Next Gen’ 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

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.”

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.
