How the KTN can help
• Funded by the Technology Strategy Board.
“.. primary aim is not the creation of knowledge - where Government separately invests over £3 billion per annum
- but the translation of knowledge into innovation and new and improved products and services.”
How the KTN can help
• Building partnerships • Promoting technologies• Highlight funding opportunities• Feedback to government
How the KTN can help
• Facts:– Over 2,000 UK Organisations are members of the
community ~ 65% market share and growing– 135 Universities are members with 650 separate
