Vanessa Xu, Co-Founder of SuperBridge Council, said: SuperBridge Summit 2024 offers cross continental
strategic insights from practitioners on the ground that inspire collaborative opportunities. The strong tie
between Middle East and Africa can enable businesses from other regions to enter, expand and grow deeply

in Africa from their foothold in the Middle East, and connect to global capital flow and supply chain networks
from here, while still be able to leverage their respective competitive advantages from their home countries.

The UAE’s sustainability initiatives in Africa reflect the nation’s vision to triple its renewable energy
production capacity by 2030. Such efforts have helped strengthen Africa’s climate adaptation and mitigation

strategies while highlighting the UAE’s commitment to advancing international cooperation and sustainable
progress.

Joshin Raghubar, Chairperson of Ikineo Ventures, South Africa, said: “The MEA region holds immense
potential for win-win collaborations, and this is the right time for companies in the Middle East to capitalise

on Africa’s economic and talent boom. Businesses in both regions can facilitate mutual growth and strategic
partnerships to achieve the shared goal of nurturing a sustainable future. SuperBridge Summit, the premier

platform for convening innovation leaders in the region, plays a crucial role in this regard since it serves as a
bridge for cross-continental collaboration and growth”.

SuperBridge Summit 2024 is a one-of-its-kind platform for exploring diverse economic opportunities offered
by the MEA region. Leveraging the collective strength of both regions and by fostering strategic alliances,

businesses can discover new horizons of growth and position themselves for sustained success.
