Knowledge Transfer Partnership

• Would you like government financial support to help you achieve your investment plans?
• Do you need to develop a new product, improve an existing one, optimise your production, improve your marketing strategy, or optimise your business methods?
• Would your investment plans benefit from having the skills and new ideas of a high quality graduate backed by the knowledge and resources of a University?

Try KTP - Knowledge Transfer Partnership!

The University of Portsmouth has helped over forty companies achieve their investment objectives through KTP in the last few years. In these normally two-year projects, the closely focussed programme is undertaken by a graduate working full time at the company with the regular support of both company and University staff. One advantage to the company is that it does not incur employee costs directly as the graduate is employed by the University and not by the company. Another advantage is that the company obtains direct access to the technology base and resources of the University throughout the programme. And a third advantage is that the government part finances the investment programme.

For a small company, the cost to the company is about £20000 per year with the government providing an additional £34000 per year.

We should be delighted to discuss this opportunity with you and are pleased to visit you to see if we can support you through KTP or in some other way.

KTP is a national scheme supported by the Technology Strategy Board.
