This seems an exceptionally interesting & exciting idea. Is this the first time something like this has been run institutionally in an emerging economy or developing nation?

Nope. I'm coordinating political advocacy for the Startup Visa here in the US, and one of our volunteers came up with this list of research on international efforts: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Rbs3flXfGSfkVH41L3-oiIJP...

StartupChile is almost certainly the savviest and most effective effort out there, both in results and their marketing of themselves, but there are many other international pushes to promote entrepreneurship.
