Knowledge Transfer Networks (KTNs) have been established to push the flow of knowledge within, in and out of specific communities.
KTNs are funded by industry, government and academia. They provide a platform for diverse establishments to come together and provide initiatives and activities that encourage the exchange of knowledge and the stimulation of innovation in these communities. There are currently 15 KTNs.
The KTNs are hosted on _connect a dynamic networking platform. _connect is a site that facilitates information and knowledge sharing, where people can network, with the opportunity for open innovation in a secure environment. It also offers online tools to work collaboratively, discuss ideas and search for events.
