Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether she plans to expand the Knowledge Transfer Partnership scheme in this Parliament.
- Answer
-
The Government is committed to supporting innovation and economic growth through programmes that strengthen collaboration between businesses and universities, including the Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) programme. Opportunities for KTPs are open for applications across multiple funding rounds throughout 2025 to 2026 and beyond.
Within current plans, Innovate UK is investing £140 million in KTPs across the Spending Review. However, Innovate UK is continuing to develop its delivery plan for this Spending Review as part of delivering its new strategic prospectus and UKRI’s overall planning for Growth Sectors in support of the Industrial Strategy. How further KTP investment can support the Growth Sectors is being considered within that process.
