Knowledge Transfer Partnerships

Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) are designed to help businesses improve their competitiveness and productivity by tapping into the knowledge, technology and skills offered by universities. LSBU has an enviable track record for KTPs, established over 30 years.

The School of Arts and Creative Industries worked to create effective web-hosted video content through a KTP with Key20 Media, a London-based media and communications company. Working with arts and media academics, the School created a corporate film capability that became the business' biggest income generator. The KTP allowed Key20 Media to significantly reduce costs by relying less on third party suppliers, increasing investment in the business, ensuring better quality control and giving them the opportunity to become even more competitive.

LSBU is one of the UK's leading KTP providers and won the collaborative Innovation Excellence Award at the London Knowledge Transfer Awards. We are also among a handful of universities that have been commended by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) for our KTP work.
