KTP Breakfast Meet-Up: Unlock Innovation for your Business

Most businesses have never heard of Knowledge Transfer Partnerships, yet many are already using them to bring fresh expertise into their organisation and solve real business challenges.

Join us for a relaxed breakfast meet‑up to discover what KTPs are, how they work, and whether they could be a useful route forward for your business.

This session will introduce KTPs, a government‑supported programme that helps businesses tackle real strategic challenges by working with universities and talented graduates. Through short, practical talks and real examples, we’ll explain:

• What a KTP is and how it works
• The types of business challenges KTPs can support (innovation, growth, skills and capability building)
• Funding available and why KTPs are particularly well suited to smaller organisations
• How to get started and what support is available

You’ll hear directly from experts at the University of Salford and partners, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions, network, and explore whether a KTP could be right for your business.

Who should attend?
Directors, owners and senior managers interested in innovation, business growth, or working with universities.
