The Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) and the SuperBridge Council have announced that the highly

anticipated second edition of the SuperBridge Summit 2024 will be held on 15-16 October 2024, at the
One&Only One Za’abeel, Dubai. The two-day summit will coincide with GITEX Global, bringing
together future leaders of the global economy in one venue.

The theme of this year’s summit –‘Innovate for Next Gen’, will explore diverse elements shaping the
future of global economy, across five key topics: ‘Economic Powerhouse’, ‘Technology and Industrial
Transformation’, ‘Leadership and Human Equity’, ‘Life and Wellbeing’, and ‘Wealth and Investment’.
The term ‘innovate’ in the theme embodies a proactive approach to seeking solutions for the world’s
most urgent challenges, while ‘Next Gen’ underscores the multi-dimensional facets of global economic
forces, technology, 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,
