Soooo you might have received the, uh, first edition of the Daily Crunch yesterday, where we mentioned a certain conference, putting it in the wrong country. Oops - we've updated the title. Sorry Finland, we sincerely love you.
That was yesterday. Today, there's a wall of exciting new things to watch...including, among other things, an opportunity Neesha has for you if you're running a space startup: apply to present on stage at the TC: Space 2022 sessions!

No cloudy days here: Amazon is pumping more money into India, this time $4.4 billion for its cloud unit over the next eight years as it launches a second cloud region in Hyderabad, Manish reports. This is a Popup You Won't Want "X": When creating an online store in some marketplaces, merchants are offered the basic tools.

All eyes are currently on FTX's collapse in the crypto industry. That's why today's news from Bitpanda is an important signal for the Austrian unicorn company, which has received a crypto license from the German financial regulator, the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), Romain reports. /p>
