Attend if you are a SME or large organisation seeking to innovate, gain new knowledge and grow your business (access up to 67% grant support under the Knowledge Transfer Partnerships - KTP programme).

KTP is a UK-wide programme that has been helping businesses for the past 40 years to improve their competitiveness and productivity through the better use of knowledge, technology and skills that reside within the UK Knowledge Base.

The KTP programme has recently received a £30m funding boost as well as increased support for recruitment of KTP associates, making now an excellent time to consider KTP; whether this is your first, or, in the case of Rolls Royce, your 21st KTP project!
