About us

Tekniska Föreningen i Finland (TFiF) is an independent, nationwide Swedish-speaking association for MSc graduates in engineering or architecture, or those with a corresponding degree in mathematics or natural sciences, as well as students in these fields. We have approximately 5,400 members, of whom 2,200 are students.

Founded in 1880, TFiF serves as a meeting point and network for our members, offering both professional development events and social gatherings. Our aim is to promote technology, technical sciences, and architecture, influencing the development and use of technology for the benefit of people, society, and the environment.

As a member of TFiF, you’ll expand your professional network while also having the opportunity to practice Swedish by reading our articles, attending events, or joining our committees.
