Millennium Products are the most innovative
British products and services.
In 1997, UK Prime Minister, Tony Blair, called on British business
to submit to the Design Council their most creative and innovative products
and services for consideration as Millennium Products in time for the
start of the new millennium. He said that Britain, already responsible
for 70% of the world's most significant inventions, aims to become the
world's creative powerhouse. There have been many thousands of entries.
A panel made up of experts from industry, science,
engineering, the arts and culture has been assessing the
products with the most innovative becoming Millennium
Products. Millennium Products look forward into the new
millennium and help improve the way we live both now
and in the future.
Many of the products were on display during 2000 for everyone to see
at Britain's Millennium Dome in Greenwich, London.
