The approaches presented at the workshop aim at decreasing the need for public sector subsidies (and increasing private sector equity) through the participation of venture capitalist investors. One of the key challenges regarding the involvement of venture capitalist partners is their need for higher returns demand because of actual or perceived risks (notably the country and foreign exchange risks).
