Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
Innovate UK's Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) programme provides structured collaborations between academic institutions like Queen's and organisations such as businesses, public sector bodies, charities. KTPs are a cost-effective way to drive growth, enhance competitiveness in your business.
The programme has also played a crucial role in helping graduates kickstart their careers and enabling academics to apply their expertise to real-world industry challenges.
Each partnership is made up of three partners who all benefit from their engagement in KTP.
These three partners work together to drive the project forward. They are supported throughout the lifetime of the project (usually between 12 to 36 months) by an expert Knowledge Transfer Adviser from Innovate UK Business Connect.
