Knowledge Transfer Partnerships

What is a Knowledge Transfer Partnership?

There is expertise in the UK's universities, colleges and research organisations that could be of value to your business in developing new products, services and processes.

Knowledge Transfer Partnerships are designed to help you access this expertise and bring it into your business by working in partnership with academics or researchers.

How does it work?

With the help of our KTP Adviser, you will identify an academic or researcher that has the right expertise for your business.

With your chosen partner, you will then define and agree a project that will enable you to draw on their expertise and apply it to your business.

The agreed project could be for any length of time between one and three years, with the overall aim of helping your business make a step change in an area that you have identified as high priority.

What kind of businesses can take part?

Businesses of all sizes in most industries and commercial sectors can take part. There are some limitations affecting the type of project and the sectors that can be supported. Ask our KTP Adviser for more information.

What type of projects can we carry out?

Expertise from a university, college or research organisation could help you increase the profitability of your business by:

• Improving existing products

• Developing new products

• Streamlining a manufacturing process

• Improving logistics processes

• Developing a marketing strategy
