Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
Improve your organisation's competitiveness and productivity through funded partnerships with us.
What are Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs)?
KTPs are collaborative projects between a university, a UK business and a graduate. Projects last between 12 and 36 months and are part-funded by UKRI through Innovate UK.
The aim of a KTP is to generate profit for your business, while presenting an academic challenge. The Associate works full-time at your business premises and is supervised by an academic half a day a week.
Knowledge transfer is key to KTP, setting it apart from traditional consultancy. Through collaboration, we create new capabilities for your business. We then transfer that knowledge to your business for long-term profit generation.
