Entrepreneurs Explain

Successful entrepreneurs from Saudi Arabia, Israel and New Zealand tell Peter Day their remarkable start-up stories.

Peter Day reports from the Entrepreneur of the Year awards and hears three remarkable start-up stories from very different parts of the world. Saudi Arabian Lateefa Alwaalan explains how she started her coffee company and is now a regional giant, Benny Landa from Israel tells how he went from poor child of holocaust survivors to a millionaire who invented the first digital printer, and New Zealander Dan Radcliffe on how a bad travel experience led him to start his business for international volunteers.
