That's a really difficult issue.

We in AUTO21 are continuously oversubscribed. Typically, we turn down about 75% of the projects that are proposed to us. It has to be said that some of those projects would not be eligible for our funding because they don't have industrial partners, but most of them do.

There's nothing wrong with being oversubscribed. That just shows you have a good idea.
