'That's my message today. Silicon Fen can rival Silicon Valley. British entrepreneurs can lead the world in exploiting e-commerce. Britain can have more homes connected to the Internet than any other country. But to achieve that goal, we need to work together. British industry needs to be ambitious in responding to the challenge of e-commerce. British government needs to put in place the right framework and lead by example. And the British people need to have the confidence and skills to exploit these opportunities. If we do this, together, we can truly make Britain the best place for e-commerce anywhere in the world.'


Speech by the Prime Minister, Tony Blair, Silicon Fen, Cambridge, Monday 13 September 1999
