Overview: Technology drives economic growth, yet it is chronically underfinanced. How can that paradox be explained? Intellectual Property (IP) is essential to developing technology markets. It guarantees private property over an innovation. However borrowers, be they research centers or companies often lack the necessary knowledge about IP protection and management. Investors again find it rather difficult to adequately value assets that have not been properly reported. Additionally, innovators operating in countries in transition lack the necessary choice of potential investors. The Venture Capital industry is not fully developed; commercial banks do not have the necessary competencies to value technology and are generally oriented towards funding projects associated with lower risk rates.
