Funding
If you need support to reach your business goals, but are unsure of the costs involved, we are here to help.
There is a wide range of funding schemes available that support collaboration between businesses and universities. We can help you with the complexities of sourcing funds by providing advice, identifying opportunities and offering practical assistance with applications. For example:
Thinking of expanding your business in Europe?
Kingston University may be able to advise you on European funding opportunities through the Enterprise Europe Network London.
Support with employing a graduate
Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) involve a graduate working for a company, with the support of an academic, to manage a strategic project. This scheme is part-funded by government organisations, including the Technology Strategy Board and Research Councils. The grant would cover approximately 60% of the project cost for an SME and 40% for a large organisation. This makes a KTP an extremely cost-effective way of growing your business, and our team will be at hand to give support every step of the way.
Our team has supervised more than 90 successful collaborative schemes in a number of different areas and raised more than £10 million in government funding.
Graduate2business, supported by the government's Economic Challenge Investment Fund, funds internships and projects in the Kingston upon Thames area. If you are a Kingston-based employer with a project that might be suitable for a graduate, but lack resources to take on a new recruit, the graduate2business programme could help.
Funding an academic to spend time in your organisation
The Business Fellowship Scheme, as part of Kingston University's Enterprise Development Fund, can fund academics to work with your business or organisation to undertake practice-relevant research.
If you have a specific business-related project and would like to benefit from the expertise and knowledge of one of Kingston’s academics, please contact us.
