Mr. Karl Flannery:
In regard to communication, much activity happens at a sectoral level because the products tend to be sector specific. In the technology sector for example, we run a lot of events where we bring in specialists from the US or UK on private equity funds. We recognise the issue that the founders of the tech companies tend to come from an engineering or science background, not from a finance or accounting background. Therefore, we look at how we can use that funding to put together courses that are tailored for the tech sector founders.
