In the webinar it is noted that the fund concept should not be single geography but not necessarily cover all geographies. Is there any preference or weighting within the Challenge Fund that would influence where the DIFYE might be best to focus? Is there any benefit in the scoring to the breath geographic coverage?

In the webinar it is noted that the fund concept should not be single geography but not necessarily cover all geographies. Is there any preference or weighting within the Challenge Fund that would influence where the DIFYE might be best to focus? Is there any benefit in the scoring to the breath geographic coverage?

No, there is no preference for particular geographies, yet the initial hypothesis from the DIFYE is that the geographies need to have enough pipeline and saleability to further funders.
