In screening our opportunities, we don't just look at the technology. We look at the strength of the team and the market opportunity. There has to be customer demand for that product—that's a key criterion.
We have not yet looked at how the government might help in a general statistical way, because the fund you created is relatively new. I can, however, say that we have been successful in introducing, and working behind the scenes with, a number of our portfolio companies, which have been picked up by this program. We see this as valuable.
There are two critical points about innovation in this country. First, we have to have more willingness in the market to take that first step and buy the product, and having the government do this through procurement is a smart way of taking this step. Second, the government is looking for ways to cut its own internal costs, and so is industry. We talk a lot about whether we are as productive as other countries in competing for export markets. By definition, these clean technologies will be increasing efficiency. They reduce waste, they reduce environmental impact, and they create value. By doing this, you are increasing the competitiveness of our domestic market, which will help us in our exports. I see this as important and complementary.
