Unsung Heroes: Documentary Highlights Ground-Breaking UK Businesses

An entrepreneur who invented 3D printed personalized gummy vitamins tailored to people’s nutritional needs, lifestyles and goals is just one of the highlights of a new documentary featuring weird and wonderful ideas that will change the world.

The four-part series, “Founders Changing the World'' launched September 3rd 2021, London.  It showcases the trials and tribulations of setting up such innovative businesses and gives viewers the inside story on what makes these remarkable people tick.

The show explores the mindsets, ambitions, realities and successes of these business leaders across four sectors, including healthcare, on-demand, entertainment, and transportation.

We wanted to support entrepreneurs who are transforming the world by giving them a platform so they can reach their full potential, share their ambitions and realities to a global audience, as well as inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs.”
