How we can help with KTPs
KTPs are established, partly grant funded programmes that help businesses increase their competitiveness and productivity through better use of the knowledge, technology and skills available within UK universities.
With an emphasis on promoting enterprise, innovation and growth, the remit for KTP projects is wide and can focus on:
- design and development
- manufacturing processes
- logistics and systems
- management and operations
- marketing and sales.
We offer KTPs that focus on taking the skills, knowledge and experience from our research areas with the aim of transferring that knowledge into your business.
Examples of projects include:
- Burgess Architectural Products Ltd: design and development of an advanced flooring panel system
