Powerhouse’, ‘Technology and Industrial Transformation’, ‘Leadership and Human Equity’ and ‘Wealth and
Investment,’ that are projected to contribute to shaping the future of the global economy. The key partners of

the summit include Dubai Chambers, Trip.com, Laix Inc., NICE, MVGX and Metacomp.
The summit is recognised as a crucial driver of positive economic impact. For instance, Trip.com Group, the

founding sponsor of last year’s summit, opened its Dubai office after the event and launched significant travel
expansion initiatives. The company also established various strategic partnerships and agreements with

regional tourism authorities, including the Department of Culture and Tourism - Abu Dhabi, Qatar Tourism and
the Saudi Tourism Authority (in 2024). Trip.com Group is the title sponsor for the second consecutive year,

underscoring the potential of the event in fostering economic growth, promoting technological development
and contributing to the cultivation of the next generation of industry leaders.
The event will highlight the Middle East’s significant transition from an oil-dependent economy to becoming a

leader in innovation, largely facilitated by free-trade agreements that encourage international business
investment and foster technological advancements. As the region diversifies its economy, attention is also

turning to ASEAN, which experts predict, will emerge as the world’s fourth-largest economy by 2030. During
the summit, the experts will explore the abundant resources and top-notch governance that fuelled this
growth while highlighting the challenges faced due to climate change and the need for collaborative energy

transition efforts.
In the financial sector, the experts will further highlight the future of digital banking, which is being shaped by

institutions adapting to the rapid pace of disruption and innovation. Furthermore, the rise of fintech
innovations, which is paving the way for Web 3.0, will be discussed while focusing on overcoming regulatory

hurdles to ensure inclusive growth. The financial landscape is also witnessing a shift toward green energy,
with predictions of a staggering USD 11 trillion investment in renewable asset-backed cryptocurrencies by

2050. Blockchain technology is set to redefine financial intermediation, highlighting the importance of
democratising access to capital to keep pace with these rapid changes. The summit will explore these trends,
which illustrate a future where innovation, sustainability and collaboration will be at the forefront of economic

development in Global East and Global South.
The summit’s theme ‘Innovate for Next Gen’ is an embodiment of its unwavering commitment to foster

development. The term ‘innovate’ in its theme exemplifies its proactive commitment to create solutions for the
world’s most pressing concerns, whereas ‘NextGen’ focusses on the multidimensional elements of global

economic power: technology, leadership and investment.
SuperBridge Summit 2024 will be a vital platform for discussions on the future of finance, innovation and

sustainability, offering insights that will guide strategic initiatives across various sectors. The attendees will be
able to gain insights into the latest industry advancements and trends that are projected to transform
industries and economies across the world.
