Business and Knowledge Transfer

Sharing our expertise through partnerships with private and public sector organisations and businesses allows us to have a real impact on the world around us. We gain know-how and practical experience from their professional and commercial interests while giving organisations and businesses access to our skills and expertise.

LSBU is one of the leading UK Universities for Knowledge Transfer (KT) with an enviable track record established over 30 years. The Centre for Knowledge Transfer runs a wide variety of Knowledge Transfer programmes that are designed to improve the competitiveness and productivity of business by harnessing the academic expertise inherent within the university. We are one of the UK's leading KT providers and are among a handful of universities that have been commended by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) for our KT work.

Knowledge Transfer programmes are designed to help businesses improve their competitiveness and productivity by tapping into the knowledge, technology and skills offered by Universities.

Successful partnerships

London-based media and communications company, Key20 Media
The company wanted to create a project to effectively web-host video content. Working with some of our arts and media academics, they have gone on to create a corporate film capability that is set to become their business's biggest income generator. It's anticipated that the KTP will allow the company to significantly reduce costs by relying less on 3rd party suppliers, increasing investment in the business, ensuring better quality control and giving them the opportunity to become even more competitive.
Daycare Trust
This respected national childcare charity campaigns for high quality, accessible and affordable childcare. They produce outstanding research and develop credible policy recommendations. Their KTP with us has gone on to create and embed a new in-house quantitative skill-set which will enable collection, modelling, analysis and evaluation of datasets for ongoing new business practices.

Further examples of successful KT projects can be found on the Centre for Knowledge Transfer website.
