The KTP Best of the Best Awards are a much-anticipated fixture in the KTP calendar. The annual awards acknowledge and celebrate achievements of KTP Associates, impactful innovation and industry partnerships  throughout the UK. At last year's awards, KTP Programme Manager at Innovate UK, Richard Lamb, said “It’s great to see the KTP Best of the Best Awards become an annual highlight in the KTP calendar, celebrating the highest achievements of all those involved in KTP."

Queen's Knowledge Transfer Partnerships are absolutely delighted that four of our very own Associates have been shortlisted in the 'Future Innovator' category this year. This category recognises outstanding performance by a KTP Associate. The panel of judges for this category recognised “the enormous potential the entire community of Associates represents for the future of the UK economy”.
