AK-Foundation is a co-operation network between the Guild of Architect and leading companies in our field. Companies gain priviledged visibility in the guild’s activities while students become acquainted with future employers and material suppliers. The income the guild gets from the cooperation network is used to maintain the general well-being of the guild and to support our cabin in Sipoo, called Maja. The aim of AK-Foundation is long-term cooperation that benefits both parties. Contracts are always tailored to the needs of the company.
In 2023, the AK-Foundation include Oras, Vitrea and PihlaPRO
