Global technology has been one of the most powerful wealth creators of the past two decades.

Companies behind cloud computing, artificial intelligence, e-commerce, and semiconductors have reshaped entire industries and delivered extraordinary returns to shareholders.

For Australian investors, however, direct access to these opportunities can be difficult. That's where exchange-traded funds (ETFs) come in. With a single trade on the ASX, you can own a basket of the world's most innovative companies.

With that in mind, here are three ASX ETFs that could be among the best ways to invest in global tech from Australia.

Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)

The Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF provides exposure to 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq exchange, the beating heart of U.S. technology. Investors get instant ownership of household names like Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), alongside growth stories in sectors like e-commerce and digital media.

It is a simple, low-cost way to invest in some of the world's most valuable companies, all in one trade.

Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF (ASX: RBTZ)

Artificial intelligence and automation are no longer fringe technologies — they are increasingly central to how businesses operate. The Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF invests in stocks at the forefront of this transformation.

Its portfolio spans innovators such as Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG), a pioneer in robotic-assisted surgery, and Keyence Corporation, which is a leader in factory automation. With AI adoption accelerating across industries, the Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF offers exposure to one of the biggest structural growth themes of our time.

It was recently named as one for investors to consider buying by Betashares.

Betashares Cloud Computing ETF (ASX: CLDD)

The shift to the cloud has been one of the defining business trends of the past decade, and it still has years to run. The Betashares Cloud Computing ETF captures this growth by investing in leading cloud infrastructure and software companies.

That includes holdings like Shopify (NASDAQ: SHOP), which specialises in cloud-based ecommerce software, and ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW), a global leader in digital workflow solutions. As more businesses move operations online and adopt multi-cloud strategies, the demand for these services should keep growing strongly.

This fund was also recently named as one to consider buying by the team at Betashares.
