For nearly 50 years, Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) have been helping businesses innovate for growth.
They do this by connecting businesses that have an innovation idea with the academic expertise to help deliver it. Right now around 800 businesses, 100 knowledge bases (universities and other research organisations) and over 800 graduates are involved in KTPs – collaborative, transformative, three-way partnerships creating positive impact and driving innovation.
Each KTP is supported by one of Innovate UK Business Connect’s Knowledge Transfer Advisers (KTAs) who provide expertise and guidance to all partners at every stage of the KTP journey. Find your nearest KTA here.
Every KTP is managed by a KTP Associate – a talented graduate or postgraduate. See current vacancies here.
As a KTP Associate you can apply for the KTP Awards 2024, where we celebrate the excellence of your innovative projects. The 2024 Awards will be held in Birmingham on 27 November. Find out the shortlisted entries and how to register your interest in attending.
