Knowledge Exchange UK Conference 2026: Knowledge Exchange for the Future will explore how universities, research organisations, businesses, policymakers, and communities can work together to shape a more resilient, innovative, inclusive and prosperous future.

After reaching full capacity in 2025, the KEUK Conference has reinforced its position as the UK’s flagship knowledge exchange forum. In 2026, it will again convene leaders from research, business, and policy to share best practice, strengthen collaboration, and inform the future direction of funding and policy.

Hosting the event at the ICC Wales will shine a spotlight on Welsh innovation and partnerships, reflecting the regional diversity and strength of knowledge exchange across the UK. As a membership organisation, Knowledge Exchange UK is committed to moving its annual event around the country, ensuring opportunities for engagement and participation are spread nationally.

Dr Alicia Greated, Executive Director of Campaign for Science and Engineering (CaSE) and Interface Strategic Board member will be speaking at this event.
