Introduction to Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
The IEU specialises in helping firms, especially SMEs (small to medium enterprises with less than 250 employees) to release latent creativity and become successful innovators, sometimes dealing with major initiatives such as the development of a new software product.
The Innovation and Enterprise Unit focus is on providing support to the local business community. We work with agencies such as the Business Link network on providing regional innovation and with SMEs on improving manufacturing agility.
London Metropolitan University is increasingly involved in the KTP (Knowledge Transfer Partnerships) programme with many Academics from schools across the University participating in KTP schemes.
KTP is a Government scheme which helps companies access the knowledge and skills within the UK's 'Knowledge Base' (universities, independent research and technology organisations, and Government-funded Research Institutions).
KTP programmes bring a host of benefits for participating companies in the short, medium and longer-term. From the outset, you will have expert knowledge applied directly to key areas of your business, leading to product, process or management improvements.
KTP schemes last anywhere between one and three years - involving collaboration between an academic, a graduate and an industrial or service sector company.
The scheme is about technology, knowledge transfer and strategic business projects and entails substantial external income.
For more detailed information on KTP please contact our KTP Manager on 020 7320 3540.
