THE WORLD needs scientific and technological breakthroughs. With air pollution affecting the lives of millions of people and the need for clean water becoming a major issue for even more, we cannot rely on yesterday's solutions. While the justifiable ambition of a better life for billions requires new energy sources, we cannot allow this to destroy the environment we depend on. Our ‘developed' societies are also full of problems requiring intelligent solutions.

The only way forward is to recognize and help accelerate the deployment of new, effective technology. Innovation is crucial to the future of mankind.

The Millennium Technology Prize was created to inspire and recognize innovations that provide answers to the challenges of our time and promote people's quality of life. At the level of one million euros, the Prize ranks as one of the world's most prestigious individual awards for technological innovation.

Your nomination of worthy candidates for the Prize, based on the guidelines presented in this booklet and detailed on our website, will be both warmly welcome and highly appreciated.
