“UK registered academic institutions can apply for a share of up to £9 million to fund innovation projects with businesses or not for profits.“
Alex Leach, Deputy Director of Programmes

The Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) programme allows a UK registered business or not for profit organisation, to partner with a ‘knowledge base partner’, which is either a UK higher education (HE) or further education (FE) institution, research and technology organisation (RTO) or Catapult.

The KTP partnership brings new skills and the latest academic thinking into the business partner to deliver a specific, strategic innovation project. The knowledge base partner recruits the ‘associate’ to work on the project. The associate has the opportunity to lead a strategic development within the business, developing new skills and gaining valuable experience.

Guidance on how to apply for a KTP is available.

Competition opens: Monday 1 July 2024

Competition closes: Wednesday 25 September 2024 11:00am
