Celebrating Innovation: University of Bath Marks 200 Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
The University of Bath is inviting business leaders, academics, and innovation champions to a special event celebrating a major milestone — 200 Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) awarded with the university, alongside the 50th anniversary of Innovate UK’s KTP programme.
Taking place on Wednesday 12th November from 4:30–7pm at the University of Bath’s Chancellors Building, this in-person networking reception will reflect on the impact of KTPs, share success stories, and explore future opportunities for collaboration. Attendees will include business leaders, KTP associates, academics, and regional innovation networks.
The event will celebrate the achievements of 200 KTPs and highlight how these partnerships drive innovation and growth. It will offer a valuable opportunity to connect with potential collaborators and funders, learn from successful partnerships and associate experiences, and explore new opportunities for organisations and researchers.
Speakers will include University of Bath leadership, Steve Boakes (Head of Business Partnerships and Knowledge Exchange), and Richard Lamb (Programme Manager for Knowledge Transfer Partnerships at Innovate UK), who will speak on the impact and future of the programme. The agenda also features presentations from partners involved in KTP projects, lightning talks, a Q&A session, and a networking reception with refreshments.
The event is ideal for organisations looking to innovate and address challenges through academic collaboration, previous and current KTP partners, academics and researchers interested in applied research, and representatives from regional business parks and networks.
Attendees will also have the chance to explore showcase stands from University of Bath research centres and institutes, featuring applied expertise in AI and Computer Science, Health and Sport, Engineering and IAAPS, Spatial Intelligence, Augmented Human Technologies, and Business and Management.
Drinks and light catering will be provided throughout the evening.
