Knowledge Transfer Partnership: 2025 to 2026 round five

The Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) program provides funding for UK registered academic institutions, research and technology organisations, or Catapults to undertake innovation projects in collaboration with businesses. This round five competition for 2025 to 2026 offers up to £10 million in total funding to support partnerships that facilitate knowledge transfer and drive innovation. Projects must involve collaboration between an eligible academic or research institution and a UK registered business with two or more full-time employees. The business partner is required to contribute to the project's costs, ensuring a genuine partnership approach to innovation and knowledge exchange.
