I was getting feedback from the universities and from people in small business that much of the expense is caused by bureaucracy. There might be an easier way of delivering the €5,000. Perhaps if the universities had a particular target, the entrepreneurs could deal directly with them and then the universities could target it differently. I am sure there are more conversations needed. In general, the innovation vouchers have been successful but I thought that was a useful piece of information.
