The Government is committed to supporting innovation and economic growth through programmes that strengthen collaboration between businesses and universities, including the Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) programme. Opportunities for KTPs are open for applications across multiple funding rounds throughout 2025 to 2026 and beyond.
Within current plans, Innovate UK is investing £140 million in KTPs across the Spending Review. However, Innovate UK is continuing to develop its delivery plan for this Spending Review as part of delivering its new strategic prospectus and UKRI’s overall planning for Growth Sectors in support of the Industrial Strategy.

Through the Knowledge Transfer Partnerships programme we create in excess of 300 high quality opportunities for graduates each year. These develop their commercialisation skills and support businesses to innovate. In Northern Ireland, graduates from institutions such as Queen's University Belfast and University of Ulster are currently benefitting from the programme. UKRI works with these universities and other institutions to advertise these opportunities to graduates and will continue to ensure as many graduates as possible aware of the opportunities.
The benefits that graduates can gain by participating in a Knowledge Transfer Partnerships, including in Northern Ireland, are explored in detail in UKRI’s most recent evaluation, which UKRI is sharing with partners.
