Why India is the next digital powerhouse—and how AI is redefining Emerging Market investing worldwide.
The "Third Wave" of global digitization has reached a defining moment—and Emerging Markets are at the center of it. Technologies once exclusive to Silicon Valley have matured worldwide, giving rise to billions of digital natives and a new generation of market-defining companies. At the heart of this shift is India—a nation uniquely positioned to lead global growth as it enters a historic era of digital transformation, catalyzed by a young, tech-savvy middle class.
Join us for an in-depth conversation with Kevin Carter, Founder and CIO of EMQQ Global, as we explore the shifting Emerging Market landscape. This session moves beyond traditional investing tropes to examine the "G2" rivalry between the U.S. and China, the role of AI as a growth propellant, and the structural flaws in legacy EM investment models.
Drawing on real-world examples from leading global platforms and digital champions—including Alibaba, Tencent, Mercado Libre, NuBank, SEA Limited, Coupang, Jio, and others—this conversation will provide investors with a clearer lens on where innovation, scale, and long-term alpha are converging across Emerging Markets.
