Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
A mutually beneficial, three-way collaborative innovation project.

A Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) drives a business innovation project and is designed to bring about lasting, transformative change. It's a three way collaboration between:

  • A business (a company of any size, in any sector or a not-for-profit organisation)
  • A University / research institution (knowledge base)
  • A graduate or post graduate (known as an Associate)

The project is led by a suitably qualified Associate with the capability to lead a strategic project with full support and input from the academic and business teams. This partnership embeds vital new expertise, stimulates business growth and powers innovation excellence.

More information on KTPs for businesses.

Examples of KTP case studies.

To discuss how to work with Queen's Business School on a KTP, please contact Lorraine Marks, Head of KTP & Business Engagement Programmes, on l.marks@qub.ac.uk.
