The Marja and Rauno Mattila Foundation is based in Turku and supports education, research, and skills development in the field of technology. The foundation was established to continue the legacy of Industry Counselor Rauno Mattila and his wife Marja Mattila, building on their commitment, expertise, and belief in the importance of education for societal development.

 

At the core of the foundation’s work are promoting knowledge, responsibility, and long-term commitment. The foundation supports students and researchers who advance technological sciences and contribute to a sustainable, well-functioning future. Grants are awarded not only to individual talented applicants but also to projects that foster development and collaboration across universities, research institutions, and industry. Additionally, the foundation seeks to engage in public discourse on current issues and to promote a broader understanding of the importance of education and skills, and their impact on society.

 

The Marja and Rauno Mattila Foundation believes that technological expertise is a cornerstone of Finland’s success. Its mission is to ensure that new generations have the opportunity to grow, realize their potential, and continue the valuable work that Rauno Mattila represented throughout his career – a commitment to quality and excellence.
