Peter Day looks at entrepreneurship in Singapore

Is Singapore now a natural home to innovative business people? Peter Day takes a close look.

Over the last two or three decades the tiny city state of Singapore has made itself a wealthy place in the sun by establishing a sort of familiar, safe and sound enclave for international banks and businesses to set up regional bases for operations in South East Asia.  But what about its entrepreneurial ambitions?  

Peter Day has been sampling the views of some of people who have started businesses here in recent years and asks them if Singapore is now a natural home to innovative business people.
