emirates7 - The SuperBridge Summit 2024, organized by the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) in collaboration with the SuperBridge Council, is set to commence tomorrow (Tuesday, October 15, 2024) at the One&Only One Za’abeel Hotel in Dubai. Themed "Innovate for Next Gen," this second edition of the summit, held alongside GITEX Global, will bring together industry leaders, innovators, and influential speakers to discuss recent developments across various sectors shaping the future.
The two-day event will feature 70 prominent speakers from diverse industries and regions, serving as a vibrant platform to explore a wide range of topics aimed at inspiring, impacting, and driving innovation for the next generation of leaders. This year, the SuperBridge Summit will focus on areas such as Economic Powerhouse, Technology and Industrial Transformation, Leadership and Human Equity, and Wealth and Investment, which are expected to play key roles in shaping the future of the global economy. The summit's key partners include Dubai Chambers, Trip.com, Laix Inc., NICE, MVGX, and Metacomp.
Recognized for its role in driving positive economic impact, the summit has previously helped companies like Trip.com Group, the founding sponsor of last year's event, establish a stronger presence in the region. After the last summit, Trip.com opened a Dubai office and expanded its travel initiatives, forming strategic partnerships with various regional tourism authorities, including the Department of Culture and Tourism - Abu Dhabi, Qatar Tourism, and the Saudi Tourism Authority (in 2024). This year, Trip.com Group returns as the title sponsor, reaffirming the summit's potential to stimulate economic growth, promote technological advancement, and nurture the next generation of industry leaders.
The event will also emphasize the Middle East's transformation from an oil-dependent economy to a hub of innovation, facilitated by free-trade agreements that attract international investment and promote technological progress. As the region diversifies, attention is shifting to ASEAN, predicted to become the world’s fourth-largest economy by 2030. Experts at the summit will examine the resources and strong governance that have driven this growth, while addressing challenges like climate change and the need for collaborative efforts in energy transition.
In the financial sector, discussions will highlight the evolution of digital banking as institutions adapt to rapid disruption and innovation. The rise of fintech and its role in advancing Web 3.0 will also be explored, with a focus on overcoming regulatory challenges to ensure inclusive growth. The financial landscape is also seeing a shift toward green energy, with forecasts of US$11 trillion in investments in renewable asset-backed cryptocurrencies by 2050. Blockchain technology is poised to redefine financial intermediation, emphasizing the importance of democratizing access to capital to keep pace with these changes. The summit will delve into these trends, envisioning a future where innovation, sustainability, and collaboration drive economic development across the Global East and Global South.
The summit’s theme, "Innovate for Next Gen," reflects its steadfast commitment to fostering development. The term "innovate" underscores a proactive approach to solving pressing global issues, while "Next Gen" highlights the multifaceted aspects of global economic power, including technology, leadership, and investment.
