Emerging economies are poised for significant growth, fueled by innovative tech companies independent of Western influence. Amid this, investors could scoop up shares of fundamentally stable emerging market tech stocks, Infosys Limited (INFY - Get Rating), Sea Limited (SE - Get Rating), and NetEase, Inc. (NTES - Get Rating).

With President Trump’s proposed tariffs coming along soon, investors looking to make some investments without the usual uncertainty linked to them could look into these emerging market tech stocks, which are less exposed to U.S. policy risks.

Emerging economies are poised for success in the coming years owing to a few main factors. With the massive popularity of AI, many companies in these economies are key in the supply chain for AI chips. Moreover, the Fed cutting rates down has been an overall positive for these economies, easing their borrowing from the West.

Once only known for hardware assembly or outsourcing of repetitive data entry, the emerging market tech firms are now rivaling the once dominant Western ones. The recent DeepSeek fiasco made the world understand how advanced emerging economies are getting to match the AI dominance of U.S. firms.

In line with these advancements, S&P Global predicts that emerging markets will drive 65% of the global economic growth over the next decade, with an average GDP growth rate of 4.06% through 2035, compared to just 1.59% for advanced economies. Countries like China, India, Vietnam, and the Philippines are expected to be the main drivers for this growth.

Considering these positive trends, let us dive deep into the fundamentals of three emerging market tech firms that are expanding digital frontiers, starting with #3.
