As the world gets smaller you need better information. World Business is a half hour weekly show tracking the trends that are, and will be, changing the global business landscape.

World Business Alan Friedman and Managing Editors John Defterios and Eckart Sager head up a team of award-winning international correspondents who cover a region stretching from Europe to the Far East, North America to South Africa; investigating the latest global developments that will affect you.

We live amongst the Davos community, talking to the big names in business from the west: Bill Gates, Giorgio Armani and Larry Ellison, plus the heads of huge firms in emerging markets like Naguib Sawiris, Azim Premji, Rahmi Koc, and James Riady.

We spend time with political heavyweights from the Prime Minister of Qatar to the President of Indonesia, and gain insight from the cream of economic academia. 

World Business covers everything from the local to the macro; as interested in the shortage of staff for super yachts as the risks and rewards for investors in Iran. The rise of the new silk route economies, and the real reasons behind high oil prices.

We also cover the lighter things in life from the business of sport, entertainment, fashion and technology. 

World Business can be seen on 14 broadcasters around the globe; CNBC across Europe and the United States, PBS across the United States, CNBC Asia across Asia, Al Arabiya across the Middle East, CNBC Africa across Africa, TVN24 in Poland, TA3 in Slovakia, RTV Maribor in Slovenia, ManagemenTV in South America and Summit TV in South Africa.  We reach over 300 million homes and can be seen on over 40 of the world’s leading airlines as World Business Special Edition, Tech Watch and Business of Sport.
