News DeskDubai, UAE – A prominent Japanese investment firm, boasting over $500 billion in assets under management (AUM), is poised to take center stage at the upcoming SuperBridge Summit in Dubai. Scheduled for October 16-17, 2023, at the futuristic Museum of the Future, this groundbreaking event will bring together more than 500 investors, government officials, cultural leaders, and business magnates from 20 countries. Its aim is to expedite investment and partnership opportunities in emerging markets, some of which are often overlooked.
The SuperBridge Summit will foster collaborations among the world’s largest and fastest-growing economies, such as China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Brazil, UAE, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and Nigeria. These economies are projected to contribute over 45 percent of the global GDP by 2050.
Distinguished speakers from various corners of the globe will be sharing their insights for the first time in the Middle East. Notable figures include Dr. Tuan Le Anh, Chief Investment Officer of Dragon Capital in Vietnam, and Takashi Maruyama, Chief Investment Officer of Asset Management One, Japan’s second-largest asset management fund with a staggering $500 billion in AUM.
Dr. Tuan and Mr. Maruyama will delve into the intricacies of cross-border capital allocation, especially in the context of the world’s estimated $11.3 trillion worth of sovereign wealth funds. Mr. Maruyama emphasized the potential benefits of cross-regional investments, which can provide diversification and the possibility of higher returns, albeit with exposure to different regulatory frameworks, cultural nuances, and geopolitical dynamics.
Moreover, the SuperBridge Summit will spotlight the transformative role of AI foundation models in various industries, particularly in healthcare. Dr. Hongjiang Zhang, Advisor to the Beijing Academy of AI in China, will be part of a panel exploring the practical applications of AI in the real world. New research suggests that generative AI, akin to large-language models, could generate an astonishing $4.4 trillion in annual value, revolutionizing industries such as pharmaceuticals.
Dr. Zhang sees AI foundation models as the driving force behind a new wave of technological advancement, reshaping industries like finance, education, agriculture, and manufacturing. Their application extends to the development of macromolecular drugs, potentially transforming treatment plans for diseases like cancer.
The SuperBridge Summit Dubai, organized by KAOUN International and the SuperBridge Council in partnership with GITEX Global, is set to be a pivotal event connecting global leaders to accelerate growth and prosperity. Prominent speakers also include Dr. Jun Ma, Founder and President of China’s Institute of Finance and Sustainability; Noor Sweid, General Partner at Global Ventures; and Lionel Zinsou, Founder and Managing Partner of SouthBridge Group, dedicated to Africa’s financial advisory services.
