One of the fundamental ideas behind PdP has been the role of industrial partners. The companies usually have so many excellent ideas or problems – if there just would be someone who has a proven process and skills to explore them more closely. The financial support from our partners enables the teams not only to make desk-top research but also to develop the most promising ideas into prototypes. For many students, it’s the first time when they face such a challenging assignment but also have reasonable resources and support. PdP is no engineering or design consultancy. It’s a tool for learning – but also producing valuable results simultaneously. Therefore, our only guarantee for the partners has always been: we’ll take your money. In addition to keeping that promise, the results, in general, have been so good that the same partners have joined the course several times.

Over the years, 135 companies have been partners to PdP. The list includes well-known international giants as Audi, Airbus, Panasonic, and Murata, as well as their Finnish counterparties e.g. Valmet, Kone, Marioff, Ensto, and so many others. A new trend seems to be the active participation of startup partners or medium-sized companies. If you want to know more about PdP and this year's projects, join us at the Gala!
