Collaborating for success

‘Knowledge transfer’ is what happens when businesses collaborate with the knowledge base (universities, further education colleges, and research & technology organisations). By working together on specific projects, the commercial and academic sectors can help each other to resolve challenges, create new products and services, and become more competitive and more profitable. Yorkshire Forward is involved in partnering with, supporting and funding several initiatives designed to promote knowledge transfer for the economic benefit of the Yorkshire & Humber region—and many of these carry grant funding.
