Guild

Guild members at the TUAS building

Prodeko was founded in 1966 as a subsection of the Mechanical Engineers’ Guild at what was then Helsinki University of Technology, for the students majoring in industrial engineering and management. In 1989 Prodeko became a guild of its own. Together with Aalto University’s Department of Industrial Engineering and Management and with Prodeko Alumni we make up the Prodeko community.
