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.
