54Rising: Africa Rising, united and connected

54RISING is far more than a multimedia information platform or a hub for business intelligence. At its core, 54RISING is an idea, a concept, and a vision for the future. It embodies a grand Pan-African movement, a call for unity and sustainable development across our continent.

Inspired by the 54 countries that make up Africa—not 55, as claimed by those who aim to fragment it— 54RISING embodies the ambition of a new generation of visionary leaders, resolutely determined to build a better future for their people.
Through our innovative digital publications, impactful podcasts, and exclusive events, 54RISING offers a comprehensive 360-degree perspective on Africa and its relationship with the world. From cutting-edge publications like THEPRESS, to dynamic podcasts such as PULSE and JISSR along with conferences, summits, and other events, we spotlight the stories that matter, the game-changing initiatives, and the key players shaping the future of the continent.

As a hub for 4.0 information on Africa, we connect policymakers, entrepreneurs, investors, and civil society to foster dialogue and the exchange of knowledge.

Our goal is clear: to return the keys of their ambitions to Africans. We believe in sustainable, inclusive, and equitable development, where every citizen has the opportunity to contribute to his country's prosperity. By showcasing Africa's economic potential, fostering entrepreneurship, and championing innovative solutions, we aim to help build a strong, united, and thriving Africa.

54RISING is also a space for reflection and debate, where ideas flow freely. We encourage policymakers to make informed decisions, businesses to invest in high impact social projects, and citizens to take an active role in shaping a better future.

Together, we can overcome the challenges of the past and present to shape a hopeful and thriving future for generations to come. By joining the 54RISING community, you become part of an ambitious project: rewriting Africa's history.
