What is a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP)?

A Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) is a UK government-supported initiative, funded by Innovate UK, that enables businesses to overcome strategic challenges and accelerate innovation. At the University of Hull, KTPs create a powerful collaboration between your business, our academic experts, and a talented graduate—known as a KTP Associate. This partnership allows your organisation to access specialist knowledge, research, and technology that may not be available internally, helping you develop new products, services, or processes that drive growth.
