Electronics Knowledge Transfer Network

Cambridge Network is operating the Electronics Knowledge Transfer Network for the East of England.
 
About the Electronics Knowledge Transfer Network
 
Knowledge Transfer Networks are initiatives supported by the Technology Strategy Board designed to promote specific market sectors or technologies.
 
The Electronics KTN will pull together the network of UK capabilities across the electronics value chain, from research through to design and product development, including sales and operations. It aims to harness and promote the sector's global potential and facilitate knowledge transfer to help companies realise best practice, while creating a community rich with potential collaborative partners.
 
The work of the EKTN can be broadly divided into three main activities:
 
  • The Capability Directory - a fully searchable listing of UK electronics companies to promote knowledge transfer and networking
  • Regional KTN activities – delivered by our local partners
  • National Programme - a set of national themes and conferences covering emerging technologies, areas of excellence and good business practice relating to the electronics industry.

Cambridge Network, with our partner the University of Hertfordshire, are delivering the Electronics Knowledge Transfer Network to the East of England through a series of events. Organisations and individuals with an interest in electronics who wish to participate in these events will need to join the EKTN Network (membership is free).

For further information about the EKTN in Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Norfolk please see further pages on this website here.  Here you will find details of past/present events and news items, plus contact details for joining the EKTN.

Corporate Gateway
  • Earlier this year you passed our contact details to CVB of P. Research Labs. I am pleased to say we have now been awarded an initial 10-day market research and regulatory strategy pilot study contract. JP 18/04/08
  • Thank you so much for Monday nights event it was truly stimulating and really served to engage our cultural offer within the wider business and inventing community – I was raving about the flexible screen that will have media content downloaded onto it from anywhere in the world – the news on the go and beyond. HR 24/04/08
  • Many thanks for the generous invitation to the Cambridge Gateway Gala dinner on Tuesday evening. The food, wine and service were excellent as was the company. It was thoroughly enjoyable and productive. I enjoyed meeting the other technology experts from a wide variety of backgrounds and I hope to further the contacts established. IS 25/04/08
  • Thank you very much for the excellently organised event and the good time I had in Cambridge. I am very impressed about the entrepreneurial spirit of the people I met in Cambridge. JP 29/04/08
  • Thanks for organising a very interesting presentation. It was of great value and really got us thinking afterwards. CV 17/03/08
  • We get invited to many such events, but given our tight technical focus, most events do not bring serious opportunities to our attention. However, Cambridge has an exceptional reputation RM 03/09/08

    Cleantech Special Interest Group
  • Many thanks for the breakfast – it was really interesting. As my first event, I enjoyed it and can see the real value in the Cambridge Network. SS 20/06/08
  • Many thanks for organising an excellent evening for the clean tech interest group last week. EG 23/11/08

    India Open Meeting
  • Thanks. It was a great, high energy event. Very useful for me. Thanks for all your efforts, BH 30/6/08
  • I very much enjoyed the India session and thought your panel were excellent. PW 30/6/08

    Cafe Networking
  • Thank you very much for your hospitality last night: it was obviously a very successful event and even in the short time I was there I had the opportunity of meeting some very interesting people. DB 16/12/08
  • Many thanks for your email, and for your warm welcome yesterday evening. It was a hugely successful event in all sorts of ways, and we are very grateful to have had the opportunity to address such a great number of people. Needless to say, we shall be pleased to arrange representation of TOU in the East of England at the next event planned for 24 February! We look forward to receiving further details nearer to the date. MK 17/12/08
  • Thanks you so much for the opportunity to speak. I agree that its a great venue for a productive informal gathering. RT 17/12/08

    Website
  • Pay invoice on-line worked fine for me. No problem at all - quick, easy and just the way I'd hope. DB 11/07/08
  • I very much like the added information I am now seeing in the Newsletter, when I rest over an active link. As you promised, it makes clear whether the link is worth clicking on or not. Thank you! LvS 13/11/08
  • I have decided not to renew my membership of the Cambridge Network.Primarily, this decision was made because I don't think the website has really done anything to improve the functionality or services available to members since its launch. In an age of news story ranking like Digg embedded audio/video and the various other web 2.0 services dedicated to news, I think it's extremely disappointing that a site such as Cambnet, representing a high-tech area such as Cambridge has been so slow to adopt the internet. Even the RSS feeds don't work properly. There are several features which if you implemented, would vastly improve the overall experience of Cambnet and ultimately make more people use it more often.Please take this as positive feedback.NM 01/04/08
  • Congratulations - One of the easiest websites - but what else should I expect from Cambridge! WC 1/12/08
  • I posted 3 jobs on the website, our first experience with the network, and frankly it surpassed all our expectations. All three jobs have now been filled with excellent people, all of whom applied through the network. Apologies for any confusion caused and once again thank you on behalf of myself and colleagues for a sterling and indispensable service. HB 10/12/08

    Miscellaneous
  • Keep up the good work, Cambridge Network is a very important marketing tool for us RS 01/03/08
  • Peter, had a stunning response from just those few contacts. Most appreciated. PK 12/03/08
  • Sincere thanks for your out of hours help and support. IB 26/03/08
  • Not sure how much feedback you get but thought I would offer some. 2 people responded to our CN news article and both are now volunteering with us. It works! JD 23/04/08
  • I would recommend the Cambridge Network to any organization looking for high levels of positive Media exposure! MS 26/06/08
  • Thank you for an enjoyable and productive evening. We gained a useful introduction from the session. DH 30/07/08
  • Almost 12 months ago I contacted you to assist me with loading my CV onto the Cambridge Network. Cambridge Network was a great success as T contacted me where I am now working as Sales Director. RL 9/09/08
  • Thank you so much for your introduction to IB. I do not know what will happen between the two of us in the future as we have known each other for too short an amount of time. But we had a very productive meeting today, he is interested by the company's future prospects and is kindly helping me draft the business plan. MO 12/09/08
  • Yesterday I sat next to DC, exactly what I had wanted to do, and he listened intently about my start-up. He invited me to present to the Cambridge Angel's informal session. And then of course you introduced me - personally! - to all the folks at N, and I enjoyed meeting everyone else as well. It was such a pleasant evening and so tremendously useful. MO 7/10/08
  • I did not have the chance to thank you on the day itself for your efforts in making our opening day a success, thus I would like to do this via this mail. I was very glad to have you as our opening speaker, and your choice of presentation focus to welcome us back to Cambridge with reference to the history has worked extremely well. BT 10/11/08
