Welcome to Emerging Markets Today

Hi! I’m Ana Paula Picasso — a Brazilian marketing strategist based in Sweden.

I started Emerging Markets Today in 2014 as a space to explore the intersection of tech, innovation, and consumer trends across emerging economies.

What began as a blog has since grown into a newsletter and a podcast, spotlighting what’s happening in fintech, startups, and digital culture across Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia.

Each week, you'll get fresh insights and conversations with founders, researchers, and voices on the ground — all ad-free and global in perspective.

Never miss a post. New episodes and updates land straight in your inbox.
