SuperBridge Summit 2024 to Convene ‘Next Gen’ Global Leaders for Economic Innovation

UAE, 25 JUNE 2024: The Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) and the SuperBridge Council have announced the highly anticipated second edition of the SuperBridge Summit 2024. The summit will take place on 15-16 October 2024 at the One&Only One Za’abeel in Dubai, coinciding with GITEX Global and bringing together future leaders of the global economy in one venue.

The theme for this year’s summit, ‘Innovate for Next Gen,’ will delve into various elements shaping the future of the global economy across five key topics: ‘Economic Powerhouse,’ ‘Technology and Industrial Transformation,’ ‘Leadership and Human Equity,’ ‘Life and Wellbeing,’ and ‘Wealth and Investment.’ The theme’s emphasis on ‘innovate’ signifies a proactive approach to addressing the world’s urgent challenges, while ‘Next Gen’ highlights the multifaceted nature of global economic forces, technology, leadership, wellbeing, and investment.

Following last year’s success, which featured 58 renowned speakers, including seven ministers from countries such as UAE, Egypt, Pakistan, Morocco, Benin, and Lebanon, many key speakers have expressed interest in returning. The inaugural summit attracted over 400 chairpersons and CEOs, and over 2000 C-level attendees, managing a capital base of USD 3.5 trillion across 140 financial institutions with a combined corporate wealth of USD 900 billion. The event also included representatives from the UAE Ministry of Economy and leading conglomerates like Trip.com, Asset Management One (Japan), and Beijing Academy of AI, among others.

The second edition of the SuperBridge Summit aims to broaden its impact across participating countries, industries, and topics. The summit will 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, stated: “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 the second edition of the SuperBridge Summit, a visionary initiative made possible through our collaboration with DWTC.

The resounding success of last year’s edition testifies to the burgeoning economic prowess of the world’s east and south. Dubai has emerged as the epicenter 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.”
