Watch-outs
Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Safety Compliance
Adherence to the Safety and Health Act, Fire Safety Act and local environmental regulations is mandatory; non‑compliance can halt operations.
Regulatory Approvals
Obtaining the necessary permits (e.g., gas handling license, fire safety clearance) can be time‑consuming and may delay launch.
Market Demand Volatility
Demand for acetylene is tied to construction and metal‑working cycles; seasonal dips can affect cash flow.
Supply Chain of Raw Materials
Securing a reliable source of high‑purity hydrogen and oxygen is critical; price swings can impact production costs.
