Israeli industrial titan Stef Wertheimer sold two companies in 2013 and 2014; he is now focused on creating peace between Israel and Palestine.

He builds industrial parks, or "capitalist kibbutzes," in disadvantaged and predominantly Arab regions of Israel in order to promote job creation.

He also founded jet-engine blade maker Blades Technology and sold his 51% stake in 2014 to jet engine maker Pratt & Whitney for an undisclosed amount.
