BRIDGE Summit app became the #1 business app in the UAE on launch day, reflecting high global engagement and UAE’s leadership in creative tech platforms.
ABU DHABI: The BRIDGE Summit 2025 launched with a powerful digital debut as its official mobile app climbed to the top of the UAE’s business app rankings within hours of its release. The app quickly became the most downloaded in its category on the Apple App Store, underscoring the Summit’s global reach and real-time engagement.
Developed to support the largest media-tech event of its kind, the BRIDGE App serves as a live digital engine for interaction, intelligence, and connection. It provides attendees with tools to schedule meetings, join discussions, explore sessions, and network across continents, all within a single interface.
By midday on the Summit’s opening day, the app had recorded over 3.5 million interactions. More than 20,600 messages were exchanged, 1,200 meetings were booked, and over 9,500 networking actions were completed. In addition, 500 community posts reflected a growing culture of collaboration and insight-sharing among the 60,000+ participants and 430 global speakers in attendance.
This instant success reinforced the UAE’s position as a hub for digital-first creative economies. The rapid rise of the BRIDGE App shows how the nation is not only hosting a major global summit, but also setting benchmarks for how the world builds technology-driven ecosystems for media and innovation.
The event continues until 10 December at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, with over 300 sessions exploring the intersection of media, AI, content and global storytelling.
