What is a KTN?

Delivered on behalf of Technology Strategy Board : Closing Technology and Market Gaps

Network with shared interest in a technology areaKTNs are funded by the Technology Strategy Board and bring together industry and academia to:

Acquire and share knowledge, participate in shaping future of strategically important technologies in the UKProvide activities and initiatives that promote the exchange of knowledge and the stimulation of innovation19 KTNs with a membership of around 60,000Newest KTNs are in Financial Services and Energy

The KTN Network

Delivered on behalf of Technology Strategy Board : Closing Technology and Market Gaps

Accelerated innovation Access to funding Partnerships International engagement Cross-sector links Technology deployment

A network of networks delivering strategic value across UK technology sectors:
