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.
