"Initially, we were a little apprehensive about undertaking this project. With little direct experience of research and working with academia, our focus is about commercial analytical chemistry for renewable fuels.
We can honestly say the guidance and support provided throughout the West of Scotland KTP, Innovate UK and Strathclyde University has far exceeded our expectations.
Indirectly and aside from the project goals, our partnership has succeeded in raising our industry profile as a service provider offering substantial value added benefits. This has and will continue to promote commercial benefit for us."

"Entering a KTP was an innovative approach for Sport Aberdeen, with the journey being one of continuous learning and growth. We were very fortunate to have the support from Innovate UK and associated staff, who truly championed our project and provided consistent support throughout. This enabled us to maximise business outcomes, alongside opportunities for individual development through implementation of a role that would not have otherwise been possible. We are grateful for this opportunity and the lasting impact, including increased resource, funding and evidence-based “tests of change”, enabling us to further meet our business objectives and ultimately change lives through the power of sport and physical activity."
Kim McRobbie, Sport Aberdeen
