Spotify is expanding to 40 more African countries. The audio streaming service is trying to tap into the growth opportunity presented by the continent, following its initial entry into South Africa, Morocco, Egypt, Algeria, and Tunisia in 2018. In total, Spotify is entering 86 new markets in different parts of the world, to help “ensure that sounds and stories that once remained local can reach a global audience,” the company says.
Spotify joins a growing list of foreign audio streaming services in Africa, including Apple Music, which also expanded to more countries last year. The continent has opportunities in the availability of cheaper smartphones, expanding internet connectivity, faster internet speeds, an increasing array of connected devices, and an expected population boom. Revenue in music streaming in Africa is expected to grow to $493 million by 2025.

Scientists set to tackle big data challenge of next-generation physics experiments
Physicists at the University of Warwick are among scientists developing vital software to exploit the large data sets collected by the next-generation experiments in high energy physics (HEP), predominantly those at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
Over the years, the existing code has struggled to meet rising output levels from large-scale experiments.
The new and optimised software will have the capability to crunch the masses of data that the LHC at CERN and next-generation neutrino experiments such as DUNE and Hyper-Kamiokande will produce this decade.
This is the first time a team of UK researchers have been funded to develop a software-based project by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC).

According to the
, technology was a lifeline during the global pandemic – enabling new ways of working and doing business, creating new interactions and experiences, and improving health and safety. Technology forever changed expectations and behaviours and created entirely new realities across every industry.
outlines how leading enterprises are compressing a decade of digital transformation into one or two years. Relying on a strong digital core to adapt and innovate at lighting speed, leaders are growing revenues 5x faster than laggards today, versus only 2x faster between 2015 to 2018, according to Accenture research. The result is a wave of companies racing to reinvent themselves and use technology innovations to shape the new realities they face.
“The global pandemic pushed a giant fast forward button to the future. Many organisations stepped up to use technology in extraordinary ways to keep their businesses and communities running – at a pace they thought previously impossible – while others faced the stark reality of their shortcomings, lacking the digital foundation needed to rapidly pivot,” said Ben Morgan, Accenture New Zealand Managing Director. “We now have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to turn this moment of truth for technology into a moment of trust – emb
