What is a Knowledge Transfer Partnership?
A Knowledge Transfer Partnership puts an associate into a business to run a project with a university or research organisation. Innovate UK funds part of the cost. The business pays the rest. It is a joint project, not a cheque for general overheads. The knowledge base and the business both have to be eligible, and a round can close.

Can a business apply alone?
No. A KTP needs the business and a knowledge base. If you do not have a university or research partner, this is the wrong scheme.
Is the business or the university in the lead?
Read the current brief. Older rounds and newer rounds are not organised the same way. Find Grants does not guess which side leads a live round.
