Innovate UK Business Connect (former Innovate UK KTN, Knowledge Transfer Network)

The Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN) helps businesses get the best out of creativity, ideas and the latest discoveries, to strengthen the UK economy and improve people’s lives.  
KTN links new ideas and opportunities with expertise, markets and finance through our network of businesses, universities, funders and investors. From agri-food to autonomous systems and from energy to design, KTN combines in-depth knowledge in all sectors with the ability to cross boundaries.

The KTN is a substantial nationwide network, with excellent industry expertise, marketing, and skills development capability.

From 2021 Innovate UK is changing its relationship with its Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN) to create Innovate UK KTN. 

Innovate UK Business Connect is the new name for Innovate UK KTN. We connect innovators with new partners and new opportunities beyond their existing thinking – accelerating ambitious ideas into real-world solutions.
