It’s always fun to see what catches people’s attention over the past week on Silicon Nomad. Especially as we’ve been spreading our net further to catch more international news. However, with that wider net, while it is easier to find interesting and positive stories, it is that much harder to pick a Top 5.

As you’re looking through these Top 5s have a think. Would you like to see…

• Some honourable mentions of stories that didn’t make the Top 5
• Your own Top 5 stories
• Themed Top 5s if there is an important event on
