The Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) programme allows a UK registered business to partner with a UK higher/further education institution, research and technology organisation (RTO) or Catapult, for a 12-36 month project bringing academic expertise into business. 

The KTP partnership brings new skills and the latest academic thinking into the business partner to deliver a specific, strategic innovation project. The knowledge base partner recruits the 'associate' to work on the project. The associate has the opportunity to lead a strategic development within the business, developing new skills and gaining valuable experience. 

This latest round of funding closes 24th June 2026.
