Today’s Big 5 daily begins from North Africa today. Here we go:


Tunisia start-ups raised $7 million in funding in a year. The fund was raised from 26 deals and Tunisian software start-ups alone raised about a third of total of the fund. See details here.


In some good news for the Gram, Instagram is going to introduce hour-long videos. The videos will only be accessible in portrait mode. This should sound great for Instagram lovers? See details here.  It appears Instagram is going for Youtube. Or what do you think?


We think that French interest in Africa has increased in many leaps recently. French President, Emmanuel Macron has announced the creation of Digital Africa , a programme for African start-ups which aims to maintain the entrepreneurial momentum in Africa. Good move? Absolutely!


In the same vein, the African Development Bank in collaboration with The Rockefeller Foundation, Microsoft and Facebook have jointly launched a new programme for Africa called ‘Coding for Employment’, that was unveiled at the African Innovation Summit in Kigali, Rwanda.


Also, Pan-African telecoms group, Liquid Telecom has revealed the availability of Microsoft Azure Stack – an extension of an ever-expanding set of cloud services to consistently develop and run hybrid cloud applications – to select African markets. Another good news for Africa.


You may be interested in this too…. WorldRemit in collaboration with First Bank… the leading digital money transfer service has collaborated with First Bank of Nigeria for instant money transfers to all First Bank accounts in Nigeria. Way to go!
