Why get involved?

  • Research Impact – KTPs are an excellent mechanism for enabling researchers to prove the impact of the work generated by their research.
  • Their impact can contribute to the Research Excellence Framework (REF) and the Knowledge Exchange Concordat (KEF) and create real-world case studies
  • Opportunities to collaborate with innovative companies who require research-based knowledge to succeed
  • Gain business-relevant teaching and apply knowledge to real-world challenges
  • Evidence-based research and innovation can feed into the publication of high-quality journals and materials
  • Innovate UK has also developed Management KTPs which help companies develop transformative management capabilities by forming partnerships with business schools
