For immediate release  

The telecom company Elisa and Aalto University Student Union (AYY) have started cooperation. Due to the cooperation, the facility previously known as the living room of Teekkari Village will be named Elisa Living Room.

With the cooperation, Elisa wishes to lower the barriers between the business and student world and tell the students about diverse employment opportunities in the ICT sector.

”As a diverse and interesting company and employer, Elisa is a fine addition to the increasing number of our partners. I am excited about this cooperation and cannot wait for Elisa Living Room to open its doors”, comments AYY Board Member in charge of corporate relations Anni Rahiala.
