About us

GOTT supports the UK public sector to unlock the potential of its knowledge assets to deliver value to the UK economy and society. Knowledge assets are intangible assets such as research and development, intellectual property (IP), data and know how.


We contribute to building an environment where innovation can thrive and where improved management and exploitation of knowledge assets can transform processes, products and services in the public and private sectors.

Responsibilities

We are responsible for driving public sector knowledge asset management and exploitation through:

  • providing advice and guidance on policy and practice
  • supporting the identification and development of knowledge assets with potential for exploitation, including managing the Knowledge Assets Grant Fund
  • helping government organisations access the right services and expertise
  • creating connected communities to share and develop best practice

  • making it simpler for government organisations to engage in knowledge asset exploitation and delivering targeted interventions to support them
  • creating engaged and energised communities with an interest in knowledge asset management
