What's on

News: Since its formation the London Technology Network (LTN) has done excellent work to accelerate knowledge transfer between academia and industry, and enabled access to the expertise housed within universities.

However, in a time of public sector stringency, it has not proved possible to secure its long term financial position. The decision has therefore been taken by the member institutions to seek a voluntary liquidation and bring an ordered end to the organisation.

UCL, King's and Imperial remain committed to working with industry in the development of new research and in the application of that research for economic benefit, through a variety of mechanisms including consultancy, training and technology transfer. Each institution has its own strategy to suit their specific situation and requirements.

LTN delivers services to UK companies and researchers alongside partners in three key projects.

An exciting new project for 2011-12 for LTN is their partnership in iCad. Alongside Imperial College London, King’s College London and University College London, LTN will help innovative London companies to create new wealth and jobs by supporting them to:

  • Define commercial opportunities made possible by technical innovations
  • Collaborate with research expertise to develop/adopt new technologies
  • Secure grant funding to accelerate and expand their R&D activities

LTN is also part of two consortia in Enterprise Europe Network, helping UK organisations find international partners.

As a member of Enterprise Europe Network London, LTN joins the Greater London-Enterprise, the London Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Kingston University and Cisco Systems in providing a ‘one-stop shop’ for companies in the Capital wishing to trade or innovate with European partners.

As part of Enterprise Europe South-East UK, LTN is working alongside The University of Greenwich, Business Support Kent and the European Info Services Centre to support innovative companies in the South-East hoping to expand their business into Europe.
