Remember when we told you that Rwanda is going green through Ampersand? Well, the Ampersand Electric Vehicle model is ready to kick-off with a cheaper model that will favour motorists.  

Also, Nigeria-based healthtech company, Field Intelligence has secured $3.6 million series A round. The new fund will be used to scale Shelf Life, its African tech-based supply chain finance platform for pharmacies.

Finally, Apple is shutting down its retail stores globally. From the 27th of March, 2020, Apple will be shutting down its stores outside of Greater China. This move is in a bid to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus.  

 

Thanks for joining!
