Leader in China's AI
movement; Asia's 'number one'
economist; and one of Mid East's most powerful businesswomen among
headliners confirmed for debut forum
DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- One of
Japan's largest investment firms
with more than US$500 billion in
assets under management (AUM) is spearheading an indomitable
presence of Asian capital power at a UAE conference next month
transforming a new global economy.
The inaugural SuperBridge Summit, taking place from 16-17 October 2023 at Dubai's iconic Museum of the Future is a
unique platform converging more than 500 investors, business,
government, policy and cultural leaders from 20 countries to
accelerate investment and co-creation opportunities in hitherto
untapped and under-explored markets.
Channelled through future-focused outcomes, it will intensify
collaborations in the world's largest and rapidly expanding
economies, including China,
India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Brazil, UAE, Saudi
Arabia, South Africa, and
Nigeria, which, according to
estimates, will collectively contribute over 45 percent of the
world's GDP by 2050.
The powerful two-day forum has confirmed a diverse international
line-up of influential speakers seen for the first time in the
Middle East, including Dr.
Tuan Le Anh, Chief Investment
Officer of Dragon Capital in Vietnam, and Takashi
Maruyama, Chief Investment Officer, Asset Management One,
Japan's second largest asset
management fund with half a trillion USD in AUM.
Joining more than 60 speakers from across the globe, Dr.
Tuan and Mr. Maruyama will unlock the multifaceted investment
value of cross-border capital allocation for the world's estimated
US$11.3 trillion worth of sovereign
wealth funds.
Mr. Maruyama said cross-regional investments can play a
beneficial role when building an investment portfolio, mitigating
risk while offering the chance of superior returns. "However, they
do expose investors to divergent regulatory frameworks, cultural
nuances, and geopolitical dynamics," he said. "Japan's equity market has long been neglected
by global investors despite the rally this year that captured wide
attention."
"I am looking forward to presenting the case of investing in
Japan at SuperBridge Summit in
Dubai, and doing a deep dive into
the due diligence and strategic considerations that investors need
to look at before embarking on the cross-regional journey."
AI foundation models to advance research around cancer and
other diseases
Reconciling future missions with today's realities, SuperBridge
Summit Dubai will connect the world's new leaders, accelerating
growth and prosperity via the most pertinent topics and issues
under the overarching theme of Connectivity, Liveability,
Sustainability, and Investments in a New Global Economy.
Dr. Hongjiang Zhang, Advisor to
the Beijing Academy of AI in China, an award-winning computer scientist,
holder of more than 150 patents, a Chinese AI guru, and author of
numerous books, will sit on an executive panel unleashing AI for
practical purposes in the real world.
Joined by prominent global AI leaders, Dr. Zhang's session
arrives as new research suggests generative AI, the type that
powers LLM (large-language-model) technology, will generate
$4.4 trillion in new value
annually, unleashing a new wave of AI diffused
productivity.
Dr. Zhang said the huge technological breakthrough in AI
foundation models has catalysed a new turning point in the third
wave of this cutting-edge tool: "As a fundamental platform, the AI
foundation model will become the next generation of super entrance,
systematically promoting industries into new paradigms, and making
critical contributions to the efficiency revolution in various
industries," said Dr. Zhang, pointing to pharmaceuticals as a prime
beneficiary.
"The Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence has made
significant progress in using foundation models to reduce the
design complexity of macromolecular drugs, and is expected to be
applied in new treatment plans for diseases such as cancer.
"The foundation model will also greatly improve the production
efficiency of traditional industries, such as finance, education,
agriculture, manufacturing, and other fields, and will change the
manufacturing process, production mode, and business model of these
traditional industries."
A pioneering initiative by KAOUN International, a subsidiary of
Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), and the SuperBridge Council, the
SuperBridge Summit Dubai is held in partnership with the 43rd
