The SuperBridge Summit will also provide a platform to explore the
knowledge exchange between the two regions. The GCC’s expertise in
infrastructure development, particularly in large-scale road, energy, and
telecommunications projects, offers valuable lessons for Latin America,
where infrastructure remains a critical growth constraint. In turn, Latin
America’s innovations in digital finance, agriculture technology, and
renewable energy align with the Middle East’s diversification goals and
pursuit of sustainable growth.
A Crucial Moment for Enhanced Economic Ties
As both regions strive to diversify their economic bases, the SuperBridge
Summit 2024 will be crucial in facilitating new agreements and
partnerships. With the GCC countries expected to attract over $150 billion
in foreign direct investment (FDI) by 2025 and Latin America experiencing
a resurgence in growth post-pandemic, the time is ripe for strategic
cooperation. The Economist Impact report highlights that 64% of Latin
American executives are now looking to increase engagement with the
GCC, driven by opportunities in sectors like agriculture, renewable energy,
and digital services.
Trixie LohMirmand, Executive Vice President at the Dubai World Trade
Centre, noted, “The synergies between the Middle East and Latin America
are stronger than ever. The SuperBridge Summit 2024 will provide an
unprecedented opportunity for businesses to redefine their strategies,
engage with new partners, and capitalize on the vast potential these
regions offer.”
Fernando X. Donayre, CEO of Inca Investments, added, “We are witnessing
a paradigm shift in global trade and investment flows, where regions like
the Middle East and Latin America are emerging as new growth engines.
The Summit is the ideal platform to connect, strategize, and foster
