Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
Helping businesses innovate for growth
Take your organisation to the next level with academic know-how and funding to generates positive impact and drives innovation!
A Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) is a collaborative project between:
- Your business
- A university – in this case, it’s the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI)
- And a suitably qualified graduate or postgraduate, known as the KTP Associate.
A KTP enables your business to access knowledge, technology, or skills within the university to resolve a strategically important business or technical issue; while allowing our academics to test, apply and translate their research into industry, creating innovative, real-world impact. They can be for almost any kind of project and have been helping businesses across the UK since 1975!
