Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP) is Europe’s leading programme helping businesses to improve their competitiveness, productivity and performance through the better use of knowledge, technology and skills that are available within the UK knowledge base.
Part funded by Government, a KTP involves the formation of a Partnership between a business (including private and third sector organisations), an academic institution (such as Plymouth University) along with the appointment of a recently qualified graduate (known as the KTP Associate).
The Associate is jointly supervised to facilitate the transfer of knowledge and embedding of a new capability within the organisation.
With over 20 years experience of managing KTP and an unrivalled successful track record, Plymouth University remains the largest provider of KTP in the South West region with national recognition as a UK leading KTP Office and a reputation for high funding success rates.
“Not only have our KTP projects brought about success in their target markets, the KTP methodology itself has been embedded into Zoeftig`s project approaches. This further KTP benefit has significantly changed our business format and considered approach to business improvement projects.
In my opinion KTP can fundamentally transform a business as well as deliver a strategic project.”
- Ian Coates, Zoeftig

Knowledge Transfer Spotlight
National recognition for outstanding partnership between Bombardier and Plymouth University
A strategic project between Plymouth University and rail technology giants Bombardier Transportation, which led to the creation of a revolutionary new safety system, has been recognised with a prestigious national award by the Technology Strategy Board. The Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) between the organisations has won the ‘Best Business Impact Award 2011’, reflecting the huge benefits created through working together. The two year project was important to Bombardier because it identified a gap in the market for a new generation of train detection system but recognised that its development would require a unique approach. Through forging a partnership with academics from the Centre for Security, Communications and Network Research at Plymouth University, and a graduate engineering associate, the Partnership produced EBITrack 400, an innovative train detection system that since its launch in 2010 has generated significant interest and now has projected annual worldwide sales of £6m across international markets for 2014.
