ENGINYERS BCN

What ENGINYERS BCN does

ENGINYERS BCN (legal name Col·legi d'Enginyers Graduats i Enginyers Tècnics Industrials de Barcelona) is a non-profit professional association founded in 1958, registered with the Generalitat de Catalunya (registration ETI/B2) under Catalan professional association law (Llei 7/2006). It operates as the statutory professional college for graduated engineers and technical industrial engineers in the Barcelona region, providing exclusive authority over professional licensing, certification, and document endorsement (visats) within its jurisdiction. The organization is governed by a Junta General of members and an elected Junta de Govern, with 43 employees based at its headquarters on Carrer Consell de Cent in Barcelona, and no external investors or parent company.

The college operates a multi-platform service ecosystem built around its membership base, including Tecnoaula (continuing education), Tecnovisat (digital document certification and stamping), XARXA e-BCN (professional networking), the Borsa de Treball (job board), Members Club (partner discounts), EBCN TV (video content), Theknos (professional publication), the Biblioteca BIM (BIM library), and SLAM (measurement equipment rental). It also runs OTEC, a Generalitat-recognized energy transition advisory office for SMEs, and partners with MUPITI for member insurance and with Banc Sabadell for member financial services. ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications sit under an integrated management system.

Revenue is generated primarily through annual membership subscriptions from graduated and technical engineers (with promotional tiers for under-30 members and summer promotions), supplemented by fees for document certification, training courses, corporate training, equipment rental, space rental, and partner-commissioned services. Distribution is regional, anchored in Barcelona with territorial groups in L'Anoia, El Maresme, Osona, Vallès Occidental, and Vallès Oriental; financial statements for 2017–2024 are published through a public transparency portal.
