Technology Behind the Experience Economy
Technology Behind the Experience Economy
Thesis
Travel, leisure and entertainment represent a significant part of global consumer spending, supported by long-term trends including demographic change, rising longevity and changing consumer preferences.The scale of the sector continues to grow. Travel and tourism are expected to contribute $16.5 trillion to global GDP by 2035, growing at around 3.5% annually, while international visitor spending was projected to reach $2.1 trillion in 2025.Behind this activity sits a broad technology and infrastructure layer. Payments, insurance, identity, loyalty, rewards, cybersecurity and travel infrastructure support how consumers and businesses interact across the experience economy. These systems span multiple providers and markets, creating demand for technology that can connect and support them across different parts of the travel and leisure ecosystem.A.GAIN’s Technology Behind the Experience Economy strategy focuses on B2B technology supporting this infrastructure. Meridian is A.GAIN’s vehicle for the strategy, investing across payments, insurance, identity, loyalty, rewards, travel infrastructure and cybersecurity.The strategy invests from Seed to Growth across the US, Spain, Europe and MENA.
