Ellie Collins

As a Project Manager within the Strategic Portfolio Office, I manage multiple projects across the company and help deliver effective project and portfolio management expertise, tools, and processes to achieve our strategic goals.

One of the main projects I lead on is Innovation Exchange (iX). This is a cross sector bespoke programme that supports innovation transfer by matching industry challenges to innovative solutions. We have an extensive and diverse network that accelerates innovation through connection and collaboration.

If you are a company with a real-life technical challenge, our sector experts can act as a matchmaker to facilitate the transfer of innovative solutions. You can access solutions for your challenge beyond your current reach, tap into a new provider network, and gain faster, more efficient project deliveries through a customised and transparent selection process. Please get in touch to find out more: ix@iuk.ktn-uk.org

If you are a potential solution provider, you can view our live challenges. Your innovation may not align with our current challenges, so I encourage you to register your interest with us. iX can provide you with access to new markets and specialised expertise, enable faster market entry or new collaborations elevating the visibility of your innovation, nurture a strong brand reputation, and drive increased revenue streams.
