The legendary Product Development Project (PdP) is coming again! 

What happens when you give interdisciplinary student teams real industry problems, 10 000€ budget and 9 months time to develop their ideas into products? Whether you are from TECH, BIZ, ARTS or any other background, we welcome you to answer that question.

Too often you hear from the company recruiters that the graduating students aren’t ready for the work life, and we want to change that. The idea of PdP is to provide students a unique chance to put their learnings to practise and give you real experience you will need in the working life. 

You’ll learn how to: 

  • Communicate and collaborate with other disciplines 
  • Apply your own background in innovating real products
  • Navigate the development process
  • Work in a large, interdisciplinary team
  • Take responsibility by becoming the Project Manager
  • Build big things

Each PdP team has a company sponsor, who provides a real problem, budget and support. There are projects from many fields varying each year, typically including medical, design, IT, and engineering! 

Interested? Check out previous projects and find more information at pdp.fi and the PdP MyCourses page

Become a changemaker and join us for the first lecture on 4.9. 15.15 at the Design Factory Stage for the opening lecture!.
