Queen's To Mark 40th Anniversary Of KTP Programme
Queen's University is to host a Northern Ireland celebratory event on Thursday evening, 01 October, to mark the 40th anniversary of the Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP) programme.
The UK-wide initiative has contributed millions of pounds to the Northern Ireland economy over the years and has become one of the largest graduate recruitment programmes across the UK.
Since 1993 Queen's University has collaborated on 350 successful KTPs, leading to careers for 400 KTP Associates and generating £350m in increased profits for the Northern Irish businesses involved. In the process, 700 jobs have been created, representing an investment in plant and machinery of £67 million.
In the 40th year of KTP, the special anniversary event will see the mobilisation of KTP Ambassadors from among our KTP Associate Alumni from across Northern Ireland and further afield. Short presentations will be given to share what KTP has meant to graduates and business-people and the effect it has had on their company or subsequent career.
Among the distinguished guests will be Jeremy Fitch of Invest NI and Mike Biddle from Innovate UK – the main funders for the KTP initiative in Northern Ireland.
