What is KTP?

Innovate UK Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) bring together forward-thinking businesses and organisations, academics, and graduates to solve complex innovation challenges which help our economy, society, and environment. KTPs support talented individuals into high-value employment, enrich academic institutions, and fuel the success and profitability of UK businesses.

Each collaboration is a three-way partnership between a business or organisation with an innovative idea or challenge; a UK knowledge base with the expertise to deliver the innovation or solve the challenge; and a graduate who will drive the project forward to delivery.

This approach has proven highly successful in helping UK businesses and organisations innovate for growth since 1975. 83% of businesses engaged with KTP have reported increases in productivity, profitability, employment, or turnover.
