Knowledge Exchange and Expertise

Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) can help your business to innovate and grow.

KTPs are a leading programme from Innovate UK that brings together a company, an academic team and high calibre graduate, known as an Associate, to work on an innovative project. Improve your competitiveness and productivity, through better access to research, technology and skills.

 

12-36 months is the average length of a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) project.
70% of Associates are offered a permanent job by the company, when the project ends.
