New ways of doing business are making people think hard about how companies function. Peter Day travels to Paris to visit an exhibition celebrating this trend in Frugal Innovation, talks with the record breaking sailor, Dame Ellen MacArthur about her work championing the circular economy and hears from a student prize winner about his efforts to create a low-cost incubator for the developing world. How can all these small scale efforts make a big impact on the innovations of the future?
