Attenborough Dental joins the new knowledge revolution with KTP
October 21, 2014
This November the first ever National KTP Week will take place across the UK with over 100 universities and businesses participating in one of the largest collaborations between the business world, and academic institutions in the UK.
The Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP) programme, delivered by Innovate UK, the UK’s innovation agency, is a three-way project incorporating private businesses, academic institutions and graduates.
One company that is benefiting from a KTP with The University of Nottingham is family owned business, Attenborough Dental Laboratories Limited. Based in Nottingham city centre, Attenborough is a state-of-the-art company offering the latest 3D medical image scanning and manufacturing techniques for custom made dental implants and devices. The Company’s strategic ambition is to widen their offering and expand the business into the orthopaedic sector.
A KTP grant of over £100,000 has been awarded to enable Attenborough to work in partnership with the EPSRC Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Medical Devices at the University and the Centre for Spinal Studies and Surgery at the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. The KTP will support the company in developing a new capability in computational design and product safety validation procedures to commercialise the new spinal implants.
Edward Attenborough, Chief Executive of Attenborough Dental Laboratories Ltd said “The KTP provides us with access to a world-class spinal engineer and a world-leading spinal surgeon, and presents an excellent opportunity for Attenborough to cross over our expertise to new markets. The KTP programme seems to be a well-kept secret with not many businesses being aware of the benefits that can be derived from working with their local university. I would encourage other businesses to see how they might also benefit from a KTP.”
