Overview

Greetings and welcome to Africa Engineering News (AEN). Thank you for taking interest in the Africa Rising Movement. Over the past few years, we have seen an accelerated shift in the level of development and innovation taking place across the African continent. Often, we as Africans, and the world at large, rarely get to see that positivity and acknowledgement on the broader stage. I was inspired to create a streamlined platform for brief updates relevant to engineering, innovation, technology, and various industry updates. Now before you check out and say engineering and tech news don’t really concern me, keep in mind these are topics that permeate every aspect of our daily lives; transportation, infrastructure, medical innovations or lack thereof within our communities, economic development, politics, or access to the internet and information right in the palm of your hand. STEMM sectors as well as the ARTS have been an integral part of how we live and transform our lives now more than ever. The reality is that Africa, to this day, has a very misrepresented narrative to the rest of the world. We as Africans both within the continent and throughout the diaspora must OWN OUR NARRATIVES. Others have been telling our stories, from their own vantage points and that, for the most part, has been very problematic. My aim in launching this platform, is to help change the narrative in a very intentional manner; sharing technical content not only with my peers but with the broader non-technical audience as well. Join the AEN community and invite a friend.
