"Our Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) have helped Weir drive technology innovation by leveraging the academic expertise of the University of Strathclyde to advance our internal knowledge and capability. These collaborations help maximise our R&D investment, while providing competitive advantage through access to cutting-edge research while developing new skills and capabilities.

"Inspectahire have been fortunate to undertake a product development through the KTP programme. The team throughout the process have been very supportive and encouraging. The desire to enable academic resources to be accessible and utilised by an SME was very evident and meant we were able to turn an identified need into a solution which is a game changer for a significant Scottish industry which we couldn’t have done otherwise."
