For Those Who Push Boundaries and Challenge the Status Quo
We partner with bold leaders who test, challenge, and strive for the change that changes everything. Together, we’re building a sustainable, inclusive future for all.
The 21st century is defined by turbulence: climate crises, technological disruptions, and shifting social landscapes. While many see chaos, we see opportunity.
Founded in 2024 by visionary leaders Syed Muhammad Bin Ahmed and Azhar Zia ur Rehman, the Society 5.0 initiative (S5i) emerged from the realization that society’s greatest risks are also its greatest catalysts for transformation. Inspired by Azhar’s seminal work, Governance of Technologies in Industrie 4.0 and Society 5.0, we set out to do what no other institution dared: prepare leaders not just to face change—but to shape it.
S5i is more than an initiative; it’s a call to action for those bold enough to envision the future and build it.
