Twenty-one finalists — which include Talasim, a Jordanian online social network and photo sharing service, and YubiTech, an Israeli software provider that makes it easier to install mobile applications — will compete for a €50,000 investment. Seedcamp Week begins on Monday in central London (www.seedcamp.com).
