More than 50 businesses have been named the most innovative in Britain credited with changing the way we live, work and think. 

Leading fintech startups, creative coffee makers and bionic hand creators, are just some of those to have been chosen by a group of leading investors and entrepreneurs including Saul Klein and Rohan Silva.

"Each of these businesses are, in their unique way, transforming industries, our lifestyle, our ways of thinking, the environment and the future for the better. We look forward to seeing what they will accomplish in 2016,” said Nate Lanxon, head of European technology editorial at Bloomberg, which compiled the list.
