Anil
Gupta has set up the Honey Bee Network; Neil Gershenfeld has
established the Fab Lab project. Together they want a world where rich
and poor can get their hands on hi-tech tools to make innovative
things: so changing the way the world economy develops.
Anil Gupta is a professor from the Indian Institute of Management
in Ahmedabad. He wants the intellectual property rights of the poor to
be acknowledged, respected and rewarded.
Thousand of miles away, in the USA, Neil Gershenfeld works as a
professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He wants an
historic prejudice that has elevated the arts over manufacture to be
overturned.
Peter Day explores their vision.

About the programme
We try to make ear-grabbing programmes about the whole world
of work, public and private, from vast corporations to modest
volunteers.
In Business is all about change. New ways of work and new
technologies are challenging most of the assumptions by which
organisations have been run for the last 100 years. We try to report on
ideas coming over the horizon, just before they start being talked
about. We hope it is an exhilarating ride.
