Now On Demand.
With the internet becoming increasingly affordable and accessible, billions of people in the developing world are now leapfrogging traditional consumption patterns and starting to consume online for the first time. The result of this rising middle-class consumer wave has transformed economies and produced new internet giants equal to or larger than their U.S. counterparts. Kevin will delve into the greater influence of this new consumer wave and the fundamental changes taking place in developing economies, their preference for online shopping via the smartphone and how Gen-Z will drive the next leg of this growing digital revolution.
Kevin will also discuss the recent regulatory actions/crackdown in China, most recent earnings of China’s internet giants, current valuations and opportunities created by China’s tech sell-off.
