Tech & Innovation Ecosystem Roundtable discussion hosted by OBU at B4 HQ

Join B4 and members for our 1st Tech & Innovation Ecosystem Roundtable discussion with Oxford Brookes University on What is a Knowledge Transfer Partnership?

The Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) programme is a government-funded framework for driving innovation and growth by linking a UK business with a university and a recent graduate. KTP has been operating for more than 45 years.

A KTP enables an organisation to bring in new skills and the latest academic thinking in order to help deliver a specific, strategic innovation project. You access expertise that you don’t have in-house, and embed it in your business to become more competitive and productive. Unlike traditional consultancy, through its emphasis on knowledge transfer, the KTP programme helps develop lasting relationships for ongoing strategic innovation and sustainable growth.

Oxford Brookes University utilises the KTP programme to help drive innovation and productivity in the UK, and to ensure businesses remain competitive in a changing market and continue to grow and develop. Oxford Brookes University has partnered with a range of businesses on KTPs from technology companies to legal practice.

This first ecosystem will explore what a KTP is and how it could benefit B4 member organisations. Colleagues from Oxford Brookes University will discuss how the programme works, project eligibility and their practical and academic expertise in this area. There will also be small round table discussions to identify and discuss business challenges and innovation opportunities.

This session would be useful for organisations that are looking to develop their business further and find government-supported access to innovative solutions to business challenges.

This event is limited to 12 guests

Refreshments will be provided
