Global Partnerships Programme

As part of UKTI's role to facilitate investment in the UK, the Global Partnerships Programme offers a research service to companies interested in joint ventures and long term collaborations.

We recognise that collaborations which enable new technology and R&D rich businesses to reach the UK can bring substantial long term benefits to UK companies. Global Partnerships helps companies access the networks which will help them keep in shape to face global competition.
