What is a Knowledge Transfer Partnership?
A Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) is an innovation project led by a graduate and an organisation through the support of a University or Research Institution.
If you have an innovative idea for your business but don’t have the in-house expertise to bring it to life, KTPs are designed to deliver this project and bring about lasting, transformative change.
They have a track record of enabling consistently increased competitiveness and productivity for the businesses taking part. KTP projects provide structure and funding support to help businesses undertake open innovation and scale up through collaboration with world-leading academic experts from Queen’s and a suitably qualified Associate to embed the knowledge in the business.
How can your organisation benefit from engaging in a Knowledge Transfer Partnership?
