Funding: Limited financial resources can restrict the scope and duration of collaborative projects. 3. Coordination: Managing multiple stakeholders and aligning their goals can be complex. 4. Regulatory Hurdles: Different countries have varying regulations that can complicate international collaboration. 5.
