leadership, wellbeing and investment.

Following the success of last year’s edition, which hosted 58 revered speakers - including
seven ministers from nations 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.
The upcoming SuperBridge Summit’s second edition is set to broaden its impact across

participating countries, industries, and the breadth of covered topics. The summit aims to
extensively explore five pivotal dimensions of upcoming trends, pioneering innovation,

facilitating investments, and fostering business collaborations.
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. Dubai has emerged as the

epicentre of this transformation, leading the charge in diversity, global capital, innovation and
trade flows. 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.
