Growing businesses need to innovate, but where will you find
the right specialist knowledge? Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP) is a
world-leading programme that will help your business succeed by connecting you to
the UK's rich academic resources and latest research.
KTP unlocks the potential in a business by forming a collaboration with a university to address a strategic project and then engaging an able graduate working full time to share knowledge, deliver business benefits and embed new capabilities. In over 40 years of success, KTP has enabled companies to improve competitiveness, deliver higher profits and invest in people and equipment.
InnovateUK provide funding support for KTP to companies of up to 67% of the costs of the projects, and in the next few days will be launching two new exciting competitions.
1. Emerging and Enabling Technologies, inspiring the products, processes and services of tomorrow with the potential to deliver real benefits to industry and disrupt existing markets.
2. Manufacturing and Materials, advancing manufacturing readiness so research and technology developments result in increased productivity.
Working with Aston University on a Knowledge Transfer Partnership can help you unlock the potential in your business by addressing core issues and embedding innovative solutions. Aston has great experience in the delivery of successful KTPs and committed academics who understand the commercial impacts of the projects they supervise.
