London Knowledge Transfer Awards 2008

***Congratulations to all the Winners and Finalists for the
2008 London Knowledge Transfer Awards***

The UK is recognised as one of the strongest countries in the world for research and scientific discovery and London has a world leading knowledge base, comprising education establishments and research organisations, together with the structure to transfer knowledge.

The London Knowledge Transfer Awards is a new vibrant award scheme designed to recognise the success of knowledge transfer within London.  The Awards will raise awareness of the benefits of business and knowledge base joint working, while promoting and celebrating successful collaborations.

Supported by the London Development Agency (LDA), the Awards seek to recognise London's Innovation in the business arena and are open to all businesses and knowledge base organisations located within the City, large or small.

Emma Shelley, Development Manager at the LDA, said:  “Innovation is fundamental to higher productivity and business growth; education and research establishments are key partners to take it forward.  We are looking for individuals and organisations that excel at transferring the knowledge from the knowledge base into practical use within the commercial world.  Our message is simple; if you are engaged in knowledge transfer within London, then you should get involved with the London Knowledge Transfer Awards."
