Summary:

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. While the Emerging Market internet and ecommerce story has been largely focused on China thus far, the story is evolving and accelerating to companies and consumers in India, Southeast Asia, South America and Africa.

Kevin will delve into the greater influence of this new consumer wave and the fundamental changes taking place in developing economies beyond China, their preference for online services and shopping via the smartphone and how Gen-Z will drive the next wave of this growing digital revolution.

What’s Covered:

  • How to capitalize on the next 5 billion connected consumers in the developing world beyond China
  • How Mercado Libre (NASDAQ: MELI), SEA Ltd. (NYSE: SE) and Coupang (NYSE: CPNG) are reshaping Next Frontier Emerging Markets
  • Review of recent internet and ecommerce IPOs in Turkey, Indonesia, Uruguay and even Kazakhstan
  • The large pipeline of IPOs coming in India, Southeast Asia, and South America including Flipkart, NuBank, Grab, GoTo and Paytm
  • How traditional broad Emerging Market ETFs are fundamentally flawed
