Support for university development

The collaboration helps us at Aalto to develop research and education to meet the changing needs of business. It improves the quality and effectiveness of our operations as well as our access to finance.

What can we do together?

We offer companies opportunities for collaboration in all areas of Aalto's operations, as well as possibilities for networking with researchers, teachers and our active student community. The collaboration can start with even a small project, and grow into a long-term strategic partnership. We encourage also the SMEs to become involved!

For a company, the research collaboration is most beneficial when it is fundamental, long-term and strategic. Usually, in this kind of projects the costs and productivity risks are high if the research is carried out by the company alone.

The possibilities for research collaboration extend from single research projects to long-term funding of strategic research and personnel, often including the utilization of the university’s extensive research infrastructure.
