What is Preemio ry?
Preemio ry, founded in 2001, is the student association for business students at the Kuopio campus of the University of Eastern Finland. With 700 enthusiastic members, we’ve achieved the status of the most active student organization in Kuopio—welcome to join in on the good vibes!
Preemio serves as both an advocacy and networking organization for its students on academic matters, while also easing their transition into working life by creating collaboration channels with companies. Our goal is to continuously improve the study of business at the University of Eastern Finland and to increase awareness of the program locally and nationally. Through its activities, the association strives to advance the professional knowledge of its members and facilitate networking with similar organizations both domestically and internationally.
One of the most important aspects for us at Preemio is community. We Preemio members stick together both at school and in our free time, always supporting and encouraging each other no matter the situation. As they progress through their studies, Preemio members develop into reliable and knowledgeable professionals in the business field, and our close-knit community makes it easy to get involved in all the activities on offer.

As a counterbalance to diligent studying, a Preemio member’s year is packed with a wide variety of events organized by clubs and the board with their teams. With diverse offerings like annual celebrations, Vappu week festivities, company visits, and sports events, there’s sure to be something enjoyable for everyone—even if you’re moving to Kuopio from farther away!
