The Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) and
the SuperBridge Council have reiterated
their commitment to cementing the Middle
East’s eminence as the leading destination
for innovation and entrepreneurship with the
second edition of SuperBridge Summit
2024. The two-day summit will highlight the
exemplary strategic initiatives and visionary
leadership of Dubai as a global innovation
nexus.

Investors and industry leaders worldwide
rank the Middle East among their top three
destinations due to its strategic location,
investor-friendly policies, and strong
infrastructure. The region's expanding industrial sector continues to attract global interest, fuelling Foreign Direct
Investments (FDI) that promote economic diversification. Aligning with the UAE’s aim to bolster its industrial GDP, it is
crucial to forge meaningful public-private partnerships that will further boost this goal, and effectively harness the
natural and human resources of the region to nurture an industrial economy. Considering this scenario, the
SuperBridge Summit is poised to serve as a major catalyst for collaboration and innovation.

Within the UAE, Dubai is emerging as a leading hub for diverse industries including technology, finance, healthcare,
and real estate, driven by ongoing efforts to innovate and attract multinational corporations. Additionally, Dubai has
gained prominence as a global hub for startups, owing to its state-of-the-art facilities and other innovations.

Shane Tedjarati, Co-founder of SuperBridge Council, said: “The UAE has maintained it top position in attracting
Greenfield FDI projects for three consecutive years. These investments target prominent companies with extensive
geographic coverage and diversified operations, showcasing dynamic global investment strategies. Cities such as
Dubai are setting new benchmarks in innovation and investment standards by capitalising on their strategic location,
progressive policies, and technological advancements.”

“The SuperBridge Summit 2024 is poised to convene visionary leaders, harnessing human equity to facilitate
technological and industrial transformation in infrastructure. It will also act as a platform for pertinent discussions on
groundbreaking technologies, sustainable practices, global competitiveness, as well as resilient economic and
infrastructure solutions that can positively transform our cities and economies, while also empowering young
entrepreneurs,” he added.

The SuperBridge Summit 2024 will facilitate a lucrative avenue for industry leaders, policymakers, and young
entrepreneurs to explore innovative solutions and best practices in infrastructure development. It will encompass
