African AI Start-Ups Secure Funding From Madica, Focus on Tunisia & Morocco

African start-ups in North Africa are receiving new backing: Madica, an Africa-focussed investment programme, has funded Tunisia’s Anavid and Morocco’s Hypeo AI with up to US$200 000 each, plus access to an 18-month mentorship and investor-network programme. The move underscores growing interest in emerging-market innovation ecosystems and signals capital flowing beyond traditional hubs. Observers say this may boost regional tech growth, though scaling remains the key challenge. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
