Commercialising Knowledge Assets Fund (CKAF) Spring

The Commercialising Knowledge Assets Fund (CKAF) Spring provides grants to UK registered government research organisations to move viable public sector knowledge assets towards commercial readiness. This funding is provided by the Government Office for Technology Transfer (GOTT) and supports the commercialisation of research and innovation assets developed within the public sector. The programme aims to bridge the gap between public sector research and commercial application, enabling research organisations to develop their knowledge assets to a stage where they can be licensed, spun out, or otherwise commercialised. Eligible organisations include Public Sector Research Establishments (PSREs), UKRI wholly owned institutes, and other public sector bodies that undertake research as a primary function.
