RASON, North Korea — A seaside casino resort developed by a Hong Kong company chauffeurs Chinese officials and businesspeople from the nearby border in a red Humvee.
A Chinese construction company is expanding a bazaar where North Korean entrepreneurs sell Chinese-made goods to their compatriots at market prices, a sign of nascent capitalism. Trucks bring coal from mines in northeast China to a pier leased by the Chinese where the coal is shipped to Shanghai. A Russian company is leasing another pier.
Those are some of the seeds of foreign enterprise in this remote northern port town that North Korean officials are seeking to nurture. Grappling with an economy that has stagnated from decades of communist central planning, North Korean leaders are slowly opening their isolated nation to foreign investment.
A thrust of their strategy is to develop previously created "free trade and economic zones" on the borders that have languished. Here, about 30 miles from China, the combined towns of Rajin and Sonbong, called Rason, are central to the new push.
Since designating Rason a special zone in 1991, North Korean officials have tried on occasion to attract investment here, with poor results. Some foreign analysts and businesspeople are skeptical, saying the country's investment climate remains too unstable, but others argue that North Korea could be establishing here the kind of laboratory that the Chinese Communist Party set up in the fishing village of Shenzhen in 1980 to help move China forward.
Foreign journalists got a glimpse of Rason when they accompanied Chinese businesspeople on a recent tour. On the surface, Rason is an unlikely site for a boomtown. It is a three-hour drive on a rutted dirt road from the Chinese border. In the surrounding countryside, green with cornfields and pine trees, men ride horses and ox carts while women dry cuttlefish on rooftops. The area, home to 200,000, suffers from blackouts. In the town center, bicyclists navigate dirt tracks. There are few cars, stores or restaurants.
But Rason's port remains ice-free, a rarity in Northeast Asia, and officials here see shipping as a pillar of economic growth, along with seafood processing and tourism. The say they also want foreign-run assembly plants and high-technology factories. As inducements, they say they would offer tax breaks, full foreign control and minimum monthly wages set at $80 per worker, lower than in China.
"The Rason government will do our best to provide favorable conditions for investment," said Hwang Chol-nam, the vice mayor in charge of economic development. "Please tell the world."
The central question is whether the ideologies of the current leader, Kim Jong-il, and senior officials in the Korean Workers' Party will allow for long-term reforms to spur economic growth. Some analysts say Mr. Kim's visit to Rason in December 2009 was a signal that this town, at least, should embrace experimentation.
More than any other country, North Korea runs on a command economy that has limited influence from market forces. Blunders and misjudgments led to mass starvation in the 1990s, and a currency revaluation in 2009 wiped out savings. The nation's per-capita gross domestic product is one of the lowest.
The country has also been hit by United Nations sanctions aimed at forcing Mr. Kim to abandon his nuclear weapons program. And South Korea, an important aid provider and trading partner throughout much of the last decade, has toughened its position on North Korea since 2008, because of domestic politics and conflicts with the North Korean military.
So North Korean leaders are casting about for new investment. The powerful National Defense Commission recently created both the State Development Bank and the Taepung International Investment Group, which is charged with bringing in foreign investment. Park Chol-su, an ethnic Korean with Chinese citizenship, has top positions in both organizations. Mr. Park has an office in Beijing and led the recent tour to Rason, as well as a cruise aboard a dilapidated ship to the nature park of Mount Kumgang. Forbes reported last month that Mr. Park is even negotiating with American businesspeople to start production of Coca-Cola in North Korea.
"It's the market that directs national development," Mr. Park said in an interview. "We operate according to market economic principles."
Mr. Park said North Korea welcomed investment from all countries, including the United States, but was looking closely at China, a critical ally, because "China has successfully opened and reformed. At this point, China has ample experience, so it's easier for Chinese enterprises to participate in the North Korean market."
Some analysts ask how much the development will help the people of Rason and how much of it will replenish the coffers of Pyongyang. Bradley Babson, a former World Bank consultant who studies North Korea, said the leaders were putting "a high priority and a high profile" on the economic zones next to China to "re-establish central control over the significant potential for trade with China."
Mr. Kim has visited China four times since 2010. In June, Pyongyang approved a 50-year lease by China on two islands in the economic zone of Sinuiju, across the Yalu River from the Chinese city of Dandong. Mr. Hwang, the vice mayor, said North Korean officials had met with Chinese policy makers for advice on a new investment law for the economic zones.
A Chinese company critical to Rason's development, the Yanbian Tianyu International Trade Company, got involved here 13 years ago. It began by erecting the bazaar, then built the casino, a hospital, a bread factory and a telecommunications building. It is now working on a cement factory, and operates two iron mines.
"The policy environment has been improving continuously," said Zheng Zhexi, 58, the company's vice president. "It's moving towards a market economy."
He pointed to the official tolerance for the bazaar, where merchants rent stalls from the government to sell goods that they buy from Chinese traders. Prices fluctuate and shoppers haggle. The bazaar has proved so successful that it is expanding to six times the current size.
These kinds of markets have sprung up all over the country to supplement the government's weak food distribution system. Still, the government is sensitive to their capitalist nature, and some top officials have tried to set limits on them. Foreign journalists were permitted a 15-minute tour of the Rason market on the condition that they not photograph it or take notes.
The market, open just a few hours each day, was bustling, with goods like skinned rabbits, sofas, Sony headphones and Dell computer mice. A soldier with a Kalashnikov slung over his back walked among the aisles, looking to buy, and women running stalls wore red vests, the uniform of officially registered merchants.
In one corner was an office with the English words "Foreign Exchange" above the door. In Rason, currency is exchanged at the market rate — one Chinese renminbi to 350 North Korea won — rather than at the official rate, which values one renminbi at 15 won.
For Rason to really attract foreign investment, it must solve the "urgent problem" of infrastructure, Mr. Hwang said. A Chinese company is paving a road from the Chinese border. The town also plans to buy electricity from China and build a coal-fired power plant with Chinese expertise. Mr. Hwang said officials had contracted with a Thai company, the Roxley Group, to establish cellphone and Internet service in Rason, and had agreements with the border guards not to confiscate foreigners' cellphones, as they now do.
The Peterson Institute for International Economics, based in Washington, recently published conclusions from a 2007 survey of 250 Chinese companies doing business in North Korea. The authors found that while nearly 90 percent were profitable, the companies "generally have a negative assessment of the business environment" for reasons like poor infrastructure and lack of rule of law.
"In the future, of course I want to come here to invest," said Wang Zhijun, a Chinese businessman on the recent tour. "For now, the conditions are not yet mature."

In the year 2000, MAIKA, the MIC's loss making investment arm was sold to tycoon Tan Sri Gnanalingam's G team Resources for RM106 million. 66000 MAIKA shareholders had been clamoring for the listing of its priced asset, OCA, by MAIKA itself. But the MIC and their saviors had other plans, shattering the 29 years of hope for recovering their investment.
Last year (2012), Tan Sri Tony Fernandez bought over OCA from G Team Resources and renamed it TUNE insurance Bhd, marking it for listing after 6 months of acquisition. It is expected that TUNE insurance will have a market capitalization of RM1 billion.
Why were MAIKA shareholders left in the lurch without proper compensation? The 66000 shareholders invested hard earned RM1000 per lot of the MAIKA shares in 1981. All they got back in 2010 was RM800 per lot. And those who took loans had to pay back with interest and many relinquished their loan along the way. Many of MAIKA shareholders were poor who wanted to do their part and responded to the call of the MIC president in 1981. Quite a number died while still in debt. But at the time of selling of MAIKA holding with its priced asset OCA, all their sacrifices' were for naught.
MAIKA directors and MIC promoters got away scot free and Tan Sri Gnanalingam and Tan Sri Tony Fernandez took away the priced asset of MAIKA for themselves. BN and the prime minister conveniently got themselves out of a politically embarrassing situation. But poor MAIKA shareholders who waited for 29 years were dumped. Another let down of Indian saga under BN rule.
The RM146 million payment for 74.1% OCA stake by Tan Sri Tony Fernandez would have left clean RM40 million for Tan Sri Gnanalingam to be redistributed to charities. Many ex-MAIKA shareholders expected that they will be included in the charities list. Unfortunately they were left out here too.
TUNE holding also bought another 3.75% of OCA from G team resources and 1.92% from GYRSS holdings Sdn Bhd which another investment arm of Tan Sri Gnanalingam and family. In all these wheeling and dealing of OCA shares, were MAIKA shareholders compensated? They seem to be completely left out in the disposal of MAIKA shares.
However the real issue is not the RM40 million gain but rather the lost opportunity by not listing OCA by MAIKA itself. It's really perplexing why MAIKA didn't want to list OCA on its own. Had it done so even with a market capitalization of RM300 million, MAIKA shares would be worth RM 3 each which is much better off compared to repayment of RM800 per lot of 1000 shares after 29 years?
Why didn't MIC get the support of Bank Negara and ministry of finance and list the OCA in BURSA Malaysia themselves? Is MIC hiding something from MAIKA shareholders? At least TUNE insurance could have offered TUNE insurance shares to ex-MAIKA shareholders. Why the gross injustice to Indian Malaysians? Can we trust BN and prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak anymore?
If the Indian Malaysians don't wake up, the MAIKA saga of Indian community will be buried and forgotten once and for all after this 13th general election. Indian Malaysians are short changed once too often. Will the ghost of MAIKA holding resurface before the 13th general election to haunt MIC and BN? Will the blatant betrayal of MAIKA shareholders by MIC leaders, opportunistic businessmen and UMNO leaders be held accountable?
Would the impending listing of TUNE Insurance cause controversy and anger among MAIKA shareholders? Are the Indian Malaysians forever left out not only in government policies but ribbed and robbed of their own hard earned assets? Is there any hope for Indians under MIC/BN rule?

Raising capital? Equity isn't the only answer
As a startup needing growth capital, it's important to know that all capital is not created equal. The kind of capital you're raising often dictates what you use it for.
During my 10+ years in venture capital and angel investing (at Canaan Partners from 2005, and as a founding member of the Indian Angel Network), I've spoken to scores of founders looking to raise equity to fund their businesses. Especially in the B2B space, with long payment cycles, this would often be to help manage working capital as the company scales.
But it's important to realize – venture equity is often the most expensive source of capital there is. With the kinds of IRRs that venture funds target, your investments of equity capital need to generate very high returns, and deploying equity in working capital creates a drag on those returns. Further, very few startups actually land up raising venture capital to scale their businesses.
Debt, on the other hand, is far more suited to low-risk investment areas like working capital.
Traditionally, it is not an easy task to raise debts for startups. As amateur companies without extensive track records, with asset-light businesses that do not allow for collateralized loans, it's difficult to convince traditional banks / NBFCs to lend to you.
But that's changing now.
Thankfully, there's now an option – pure-play working capital financing.
One such example is Indifi, an SMB lending platform, that is offering working capital financing to B2B startups.
So how do we get around the low vintage and time to profitability?
We've structured our solution to finance you against your receivables from regular / reputed corporate buyers. This is how we mitigate the risks that traditional financiers see – by taking into account your buyers' profiles, and the strength of your relationships with them.
Whether you're a bootstrapped startup looking to grow steadily, or a seed / Series A stage startup with strong growth potential – if you have strong B2B customer relationships, you can now access debt financing with ease.
How does it work?
Much simpler than raising equity capital! All you have to do is share your history of business with regular reputed B2B customers you are interested to avail working capital against. We use that to assign a credit line, which can then be drawn in the name of future invoices to those customers. We advance you a large part of money due on those invoices, and then recover the money when the customer pays you. Voila!
So save your equity for the right investments – to power 10x growth initiatives. And use debt instead, for incremental opportunities and working capital.

What patrons say …
"I tried to get the information from the website … I gave up."
"I got something in Braille through the post – but don't read Braille!"
"I'd be lost without my computer now as it gives me constant access to information, friends and family."
Though many blind and partially sighted people can access information via your printed resources, using vision aids or the assistance of friends and family, others may require information to be provided in an alternative format.
What formats?
All theatres have limited resources. We think it is better to offer a small range of high quality alternative formats rather than do everything, but badly.
The different formats to consider are:
• Large print
• Braille
• Audio
• Electronic (Word, PDF, email)
Large print documents are created following the same guidelines as clear print but increasing the font size. No one size will suit all but large print is usually recognised as something between 16pt – 22pt.
Standard English Braille is available in Grade One and Grade Two.
• Grade One Braille uses one Braille cell to represent each letter that is written with no abbreviations.
• Grade Two Braille uses contractions, which take up less space; so one Braille cell could represent a series of letters word signs or short forms.
The number of Braille readers in the UK is relatively low, around 5% of blind and partially sighted people, and so many theatres no longer produce Braille brochures or programmes. It's good to know where and how you could get Braille produced locally, just in case, but most visually impaired people would find the choice of audio or electronic format acceptable.
Audio formats are a vital means of access to information for many blind and partially sighted people, and most arts organisations have the basic technology to be able to create audio brochures and flyers in-house, making it very cost-effective. With free audio editing software, such as Audacity, an audio brochure can be recorded directly onto a computer.
Think about your audio copy.
Did you know that it takes 40 minutes to read out a single page from The Guardian? This means that something like an audio brochure can seem very daunting to the listener. Write 'scannable' audio copy. This simply involves starting the description of each event with a 10 to 12 word headline that summarises the event. This works even better if this 'headline' gives the listener a reason to attend the show: "Bring your favourite 5-year-old to the silliest show in town!" There's an information sheet to help you create audio marketing materials in the DOWNLOADS section.
Blind and partially sighted people use a range of aids such as screen-reading software and magnification software to access websites and electronic documents.
"Utilising electronic documents the information needs of blind and partially sighted people can be met with relative ease through a little consideration and planning. Most often this means using effective formatting and configuration of existing mainstream formats, the result of which improves document usability for everyone." – RNIB
Basically, you can make use of your original copy, spend a little time structuring it so it's logical and clear, and then make it available as a downloadable WORD document.
PDFs are not always readable for someone using screen-reading technology particularly if they are just presenting an image of a document. As it can be difficult to judge the accessibility of a PDF it is always advisable to offer an alternative Word or text version.
What you can do …
• Create an up-to-date version of your brochure in audio and Word and make them available on your website.
• Create your audio brochure using different voices – get different staff members to record relevant sections – and how about a message from the Chief Executive or Artistic Director?
• Have CD copies available at the Box Office and send them out to people on your mailing list.
• Perhaps a local radio station will get involved?
• Download a 40-minute demo version of JAWS – one of the most frequently used screen-reading applications and – and check out how your downloadable brochure works.

ESA opens its doors for European Researchers Night
UPDATE: Registrations are now full. To add your name to our waiting list, please go to the registration link below and follow the instructions.
On Friday 28 September hundreds of research centres throughout Europe will open their doors to the general public, and ESRIN, ESA's establishment in Italy, will take part in this initiative by welcoming guests on its premises from 16:00 to midnight.
Promoted each year by the European Commission, European Researchers Night is targeted at people of all ages who want to know more about science, research, and space exploration. As in previous years, ESA is taking part in this initiative through the Frascati Scienza consortium.
This year's theme is BE a citizEn Scientist (BEES). Its aim is to highlight the incredible possibilities that science can achieve through the collaboration between researchers and citizens. This will be addressed by our guest speakers in our Conference Centre, who will present their areas of expertise to the public. Five keynote speakers from ESA, including ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano, as well as a magazine director and film producers, will discuss the importance of space in our daily lives.
Registration to the event is mandatory, and this can be done through our dedicated website.
In addition to the dynamic talks happening in our Conference Centre, visitors will have the opportunity to visit an inflatable planetarium where celestial objects will be shown and explained. They will also be able to observe the Moon, Mars and Saturn on the Uliveto Terrace thanks to three powerful telescopes. The Apollo and Soyuz simulators will be on hand for guests to try, and the Vega launcher and its various stages will be demonstrated to the public.
A fun competition will be organised for children and adults, where they will need to avoid an asteroid and save the planet! Another big attraction will be the opportunity to visit the new interactive Φ-Experience, a hands-on exhibition area that offers a peek into the wealth of information coming from satellites that are continuously keeping an eye on our planet.
The Heritage Missions Walkthrough will also be open to our guests, where they will taken on a technological walk through the history of Earth observation missions at ESA. And last but not least, the Control Room for Earth observation payloads will also be showcased. Hands-on laboratories for children aged between 8 and 12 will give them the chance to build their own Sentinel satellite, find out what it means when we talk about 'life' on other planets, and experience the same difficulties astronauts experience when they need to work with big gloves in outer space.
The night is sure to satisfy every child and every adult's curiosity about space, so register now!
