Creating a Student Enterprise

In today’s competitive landscape, Knowledge Transfer Offices (KTOs) play a pivotal role in fostering student enterprise through initiatives such as events, competitions, co-curricular courses, and live case studies.

These programmes provide students with invaluable experience in technology commercialisation, translating innovative ideas into practical ventures. While not always involving substantial Intellectual Property (IP), these initiatives are essential for generating income, raising institutional profiles, and expanding knowledge transfer networks.
