Leveraging expertise across our diverse network, KTN promotes innovation transfer, matching real industry challenges from large businesses, to companies and innovators already working on the solutions. Our unique cross-sector approach taps into the power of collaboration providing technical solutions from other sectors.
Over the past 4-years, KTN’s Innovation Exchange Programme has proven it is a highly successful programme in the energy and infrastructure sectors and is now being expanded into the defence sector.
Our armed forces are now operating in a rapidly changing world, where threats from adversaries continue to evolve. There is a need to modernise by investing in new and innovative technologies to deliver rapid capability development, whilst also considering sustainability and the Net Zero agenda.
