Northamptonshire is a powerhouse of innovation – home to global brands like Warner’s Gin, Weetabix, and GXO Logistics, not to mention the thousands of SMEs that are always innovating for their customers, their businesses and their communities. With a rich heritage of enterprise and a vibrant ecosystem of forward-thinking businesses, it’s the perfect place for innovation to thrive.

Fuelling Innovation is a dynamic campaign designed to ignite creativity, foster collaboration, and build a stronger future for businesses across the region. Through a packed programme of events, workshops, conferences, and networking sessions, we’re sparking new ideas and driving growth.

Ignite Your Next Big Idea

  • Exclusive events hosted by the University of Northampton and partners
  • Access to industry experts, investors, and academic leaders
  • Practical insights to power your business growth and innovation
  • Opportunities to learn more about Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) and how they can accelerate your success

From dynamic workshops to the vibrant Coffee Tour – where great conversations start with a free cup of coffee – Fuelling Innovation offers the perfect platform to connect, learn, and grow.

  • As we mark the 50th anniversary of Innovate UK’s Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs), Fuelling Innovation shines a spotlight on the transformative power of collaboration. KTPs have been connecting businesses with academic expertise for five decades, driving innovation, boosting productivity, and creating real-world impact.

    At the University of Northampton, we take pride in our successful KTPs that have helped businesses innovate and grow. These partnerships involve a three-way collaboration between a business, an academic institution, and a qualified graduate (known as the ‘associate’), working together on strategic projects to deliver tangible outcomes.
