What Associazione Federterziario - Confederazione di Associazioni Datoriali does

Associazione Federterziario - Confederazione di Associazioni Datoriali, commonly FederTerziario, is an Italian non-profit employers' confederation founded in 1992 and headquartered in Rome at Via Cesare Beccaria 16. It represents and assists micro, small and medium enterprises (MPMI) operating in the tertiary sector, services, small industrial, commercial, agricultural, and liberal-professional categories, organized through eleven sector-specific federations covering Sport, Healthcare (Socio-Sanitaria), Agriculture, Balneari, Credito, Formazione, Lavoratori e Pensionati, Logistica e Servizi, Istruzione, Security (AISS), and Turismo. Since 2018 the confederation has held standing as a social partner in governmental consultation tables at ministries and parliamentary commissions, presenting proposals and amendments on labor and economic policy affecting MPMI.

The confederation's core offerings span four lines: representation and collective bargaining (signing CCNL agreements and the "Proposte FederTerziario" amendments track), member services (contract certification, European tenders, the MePA public-procurement desk, privacy/compliance, SIAE conventions, and subsidized credit via Federterziario Credito), training and welfare delivered through five jointly-controlled bilateral entities (Fonditalia for funded training, Ebintur for tourism welfare, Previlavoro Italia for income integration, Formasicuro for safety, Enbisit for digital services), and research/communications via the LAMP Observatory with Universitas Mercatorum and the quarterly "Radici d'Impresa" magazine. Technology surface is limited to the internally developed Federterziario Edu LMS and standard web/social channels; there is no proprietary AI or data product.

FederTerziario is funded by membership contributions from affiliated employers (subscription/recurring) and fees for ancillary services (professional services model). Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Governance is led by President Nicola Patrizi and Secretary General Alessandro Franco, with sector-federation presidents running the vertical units. The organization owns no subsidiaries in the corporate sense; sector federations are internal operating units and bilateral entities are jointly controlled with trade-union counterparts.
