With increasing stability, governmental policies that have energized domestic markets, social and demographic changes transforming these societies, and international investment pouring in at an accelerating pace, these markets are projected to enter a phase of substantial and sustained economic expansion. The demographic dividend driven by improved healthcare and reproductive options are also meaningful factors for economic growth in these regions.   

Further driven by a confluence of exploding demand, massively expanding middle-class consumer bases, increasing openness of trade and stronger regulatory and legal systems, roaring productivity has positioned these markets to become the engines generating the innovation that will create the future.  We know these markets inside and out and have been dedicated to these regions — the fastest growing and most vibrant and innovative startup ecosystems in the world — for decades.
