Knowledge Transfer Partnership: 2026 to 2027 round one

The Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) programme enables UK registered academic institutions, research and technology organisations, or Catapults to apply for a share of up to £10 million to fund innovation projects with businesses. This funding opportunity facilitates collaboration between academic and research institutions and UK businesses to deliver innovation projects. The partnership must involve a UK registered business with two or more full-time employees, and the business must contribute to the project's costs. KTP projects are designed to transfer knowledge and embed innovation capabilities within businesses through structured partnerships with academic and research organizations.
