RISING COUNTRY SERIES
Places—and People—on the Rise
Positioning Nations as Destinations for Investment & Partnership
- Positioning Nations as Destinations for Investment & Partnership
Our Rising Series is a flagship Global Group Media initiative that celebrates the visionaries shaping the future—country by country, leader by leader, story by story. Across the Americas, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean, we spotlight the individuals and industries driving transformation in emerging markets worldwide.
What sets the series apart is our immersive approach. Our editorial teams live and work within each Rising market for 4–6 months, engaging directly with government leaders, innovators, entrepreneurs, and cultural pioneers. This on‑the‑ground presence gives us rare, first‑hand insight into a country’s economic momentum, its challenges, its opportunities, and the human stories behind its progress. The result is deeply reported, high‑impact storytelling that resonates with global audiences, investors, and policymakers alike.
Born from a desire to highlight resilience and innovation during a time of global uncertainty, the Rising Series pays tribute to the countries and leaders forging ahead—despite economic headwinds, geopolitical shifts, and rapid technological change. We have witnessed extraordinary breakthroughs across every region we cover, and our mission remains clear: to elevate these stories, amplify their impact, and inspire more to come.
As part of the broader Rising portfolio, the Rising Country Series profiles nations undergoing meaningful transformation. We illuminate key sectors, emerging technologies, investment‑ready opportunities, cultural identity, and the leaders guiding national progress. By bridging local insight with global reach, we help investors and decision‑makers navigate and engage with emerging markets more confidently and strategically.
Across continents, the Rising Series captures the ingenuity, resilience, and innovation that define the global majority—bringing visibility to rising economies and amplifying the voices shaping tomorrow’s world.

- Our Reason
The Inspiration Behind the Rising WOMAN Project
Our founder’s mother was the inspiration behind the Rising WOMAN project.
In 2018, following her mother’s diagnosis with dementia, our founder identified a phenomenon she called Silent Leadership, where the voices of women in Africa remain unheard, their potential untapped, and their tireless dedication to family, community, and the continent overlooked.
Her mother’s experiences were shaped by the harrowing 1967 Biafra war that devastated the Igbo tribe in Nigeria. The war brought extreme poverty, famine, violence, and widespread PTSD, leaving lasting scars on everyone, including her mother.
The Rising WOMAN Series, Africa Edition was created in partnership with Forbes Africa as a tribute to her mother and a celebration of all African women and global women impacting the continent.
Six years later, this legacy continues with the Global Women Impacting the World series on NBC, which is supported by a five-year publishing contract.
