🌱 Yesterday we had the pleasure of visiting Pinnacle Plants International Ltd for their final Local Management Committee (LMC) meeting. Over the past three years, Pinnacle Plants has partnered with Plant Molecular Biologist and KTP Associate Nadeesha Lewke Bandara (pictured right) on a strategic project to build in-house expertise in tree propagation through cuttings – helping to reduce time to market and meet growing demand. Throughout the project, Nadeesha was supported by University of Nottingham academics: Dr Amanda Rasmussen (pictured left), Associate Professor in Plant Ecophysiology (School of Biosciences), and Professor Jonathan Aylott (School of Pharmacy), both from the Faculty of Science, University of Nottingham. Together, they bridged the gap between academia and industry to investigate how hormone treatments and different soil compositions could accelerate growth. This is just the beginning – Nadeesha will continue at Pinnacle Plants to expand on the R&D work initiated through the Knowledge Transfer Partnership. Huge congratulations to Nadeesha on securing this permanent position – we wish her and the team at Pinnacle Plants every success with future developments.

Taking a moment to reflect on what has been a wonderful week of conversations, inspiration, and action! 💫 On Tuesday, we were delighted to welcome more than 80 delegates – including past and present University of Nottingham KTP business partners, Innovate UK colleagues and university researchers – to celebrate the lasting impact of Innovate UK Knowledge Transfer Partnerships in our region and beyond.
