Recently, MSA Novo, a branch of MSA Capital that deals in emerging markets, invested $5 million dollars in Tamatem Games. The Beijing based investment firm has been very active in the MENA region for the last few years. They now boast a portfolio of 35 companies across the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa.
