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

partnerships that will drive sustainable development for decades to come.”

Recent High-Profile Engagements and Future Prospects

Recent high-profile deals underscore the strategic potential of these partnerships. In addition to DP
World’s investments, Qatar Airways has expanded its routes to key Latin American destinations,

including Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, and Lima, boosting connectivity and facilitating both business and

tourism flows.

Looking ahead, the SuperBridge Summit 2024 will take place from October 15 to 16 at the Dubai

World Trade Centre, in conjunction with GITEX Global, one of the largest technology showcases
globally. This confluence of events is expected to attract over 10,000 global business leaders,

entrepreneurs, and innovators to discuss emerging trends, share insights, and forge partnerships that

can drive mutual growth.
