The Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) programme funded by InnovateUK  is to help businesses improve their competitiveness and productivity through a high-tech graduate r&D programme. This two-year project is designed to use the knowledge, technology, and skills that are found at the NWRC, and transfer this knowledge through to private companies via R&D projects.
