10/15/24, 10:55 AM SuperBridge Summit 2024 kicks off tomorrow to ‘Innovate for the Next-Gen’
range of topics, including ‘Economic 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, Laix Inc., NICE, MVGX and Metacomp.

The summit is recognised as a crucial driver of positive economic impact. For instance,
TripGroup, 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). TripGroup 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,
