InnovaChile provides the beneficiary a non-refundable cash subsidy with a cost ceiling of $40,000 USD. The cash award is reimbursed on a monthly basis against company expenditures. Since the founding team is expected to contribute the additional 10% of the funding towards their project, Start-Up Chile will reimburse 90% of the total of your expense reports.

Flights to Chile can be reimbursed for every team member (up to max 3)

And Brasil is going to pick up the bill to send a coulpe of 100.000 kids to prestigious universities abroad.

Meanwhile Argentina is limiting imports and exports

Yeah, but Argentina's got Cristina! After all aren't these people who start and run businesses really just enemies of the people?
