CNN International Commercial and Dangote Industries Limited have announced a multi-year global partnership designed to showcase African businesses and the continent's expanding role in the global economy.
At the heart of the deal is Dangote's sponsorship of "Africa Inc.", a new CNN International programme hosted by Adefemi Akinsanya. The half-hour show will spotlight African companies competing and scaling on the world stage across sectors such as technology, manufacturing, hospitality and entertainment. The programme premieres on August 29, with four further episodes rolling out through 2026 and 2027, supported by bi-monthly digital segments.
The partnership also includes "Africa First," a branded content series produced by CNN's in-house studio, Create, centred on the continent's push toward energy independence and economic transformation.
The wider campaign will run across CNN International, CNN.com, CNN Arabic and CNN Business social platforms. In addition, Dangote Industries will sponsor three editions of CNN's new Global Perspectives events franchise over the coming year.
Dangote said the partnership aligns with its global brand positioning strategy and will help amplify its Vision 2030 blueprint and industrialisation drive on the world stage.
