Welcome!

The most important objectives of Aalto University are to develop and cultivate the passion-based, student centric learning culture, as well as the quality of research and education. The three ‘factories’, spearhead projects of Aalto University – Media, Service and Design factories – are serving as experimental platforms, showrooms and sources of inspiration for all the parties involved.

Design Factory is in essence a place where students, teachers, researchers and industry partners can interact under the same roof. The place has its architecture and certain enabling and supporting technologies, but perhaps even more important are the soft issues – philosophy, attitudes, our ways of working. Briefly put, as several visitors have formulated it: “I can see a lot of energy in this place!”

Design Factory is continuously looking for new partnerships and co-operation with all Aalto teachers, courses, students and other parties. Just contact us for further discussions or co-design. Better outcomes in learning and research are the only things that matter, and Design Factory is dedicated to help you in that.

In the name of passion, fun, learning and hard work – come and see if we can do something together!
