APEME

What APEME does

APEME (Asociación Provincial de Empresarios de Montajes Eléctricos y de Telecomunicaciones de Alicante) is a regional, non-profit professional trade association headquartered in Alicante, Spain. Founded in 1977 under Spain's Law of Associations as APIIE and rebranded to APEME in 2023, the association represents more than 600 micro and small enterprises operating in electrical installations, telecommunications, energy efficiency, electric-vehicle charging infrastructure, and renewable energy across the province of Alicante. The organization is governed as economically autonomous and politically independent, with 1-10 staff at its Calle Reyes Católicos 34 headquarters.

APEME's product surface is a bundle of member services rather than discrete software products. Core offerings include Asesoría Técnica y Jurídica (technical and legal advisory covering low-voltage regulations, claims, and legal consultations), Formación (in-person training plus the Campus APEME Online e-learning platform), and Gestiones y Tramitaciones (insurance, Industry and Energy procedures, Iberdrola and telecom paperwork, subsidies, REA registration). Complementary services include the public-facing Directorio de Empresas Asociadas (directory of 600+ member installers), ACCV digital signature, mini-websites for members, and a 24/7 member portal (app.apeme.es). In 2024, the association extended its stack with APEME PRO (accounting, tax, and time-control for SMBs) and Plan Movilidad (sustainable transportation and EV charging advisory). The technology layer is administrative rather than proprietary: a web platform, member portal app, e-learning LMS, and directory — no API, SDK, MCP, or AI modalities are listed.

APEME operates a subscription-based non-profit revenue model funded by recurring membership dues paid monthly by associated companies and by advertising/sponsorship placements targeted at equipment manufacturers (e.g., Schneider Electric, Legrand, Chint) and service providers. A tiered pricing structure exists (regular members plus the discounted Asociado Junior program offering 50% off for newly graduated installers during the first 24 months), but explicit dues levels are not publicly disclosed. The association is a full member of FIECOV (Valencian Community federation) and FENIE (Spanish national federation), and co-founded FENÍE ENERGÍA, an energy retailer operated by electrical installers, which APEME actively cross-promotes to installer-customer relationships.

Regional players

• FIECOV (Federación de la Comunidad Valenciana): Regional federation of which APEME is a full member; aggregates the Valencian Community installer associations and is directly comparable as an industry-body operating in the same geography and trade.

Others

• Fundación Laboral de la Construcción: National construction-sector training foundation with which APEME has a collaboration agreement; comparable as an industry training/standards body but broader in scope (whole construction industry).
• Instituto Tecnológico de la Energía (ITE): Energy technology institute in Valencia that collaborates with APEME/FIECOV on technical training and laboratory access; adjacent technical/standards body in the same regional ecosystem.
• FENÍE ENERGÍA: Energy retailer cofounded by APEME and other installer associations; adjacent rather than competing, but tied to APEME's commercial ecosystem and a key GTM partnership for member installers.

Direct peers

• ASELEC (Asociación de Empresas Instaladoras Eléctricas y de Telecomunicaciones de Cataluña): Provincial trade association for electrical and telecommunications installers in Catalonia; the most direct functional comparable to APEME in a different region, with similar member services (training, advisory, directory).
• APIEM (Asociación Profesional de Instaladores Eléctricos y de Telecomunicaciones de Madrid): Madrid-based provincial trade association serving electrical and telecommunications installers with similar advocacy, training, and advisory services as APEME.

Broad incumbents

• FENIE (Federación Nacional de Asociaciones de Instaladores): National federation of which APEME is a full member; comparable in mission (advocacy, training, services for electrical/telecom installers) but operates at national scale across all Spanish regions.
