Femmes Ingénieurs

What Femmes Ingénieurs does

Association Femmes Ingénieurs (FI) is a French non-profit association (under loi 1901) headquartered in Paris, dedicated to promoting engineering careers among young women, valuing women engineers in the workplace, and ensuring their representation on corporate boards of directors. It operates through 13 regional chapters spanning metropolitan France — including Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Bretagne, Île-de-France, Occitanie, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, and Nouvelle-Aquitaine — coordinating local events, school visits, and networking activities. Its primary audiences are individual women engineers (members), students and young girls (outreach targets), educational institutions (school partnerships), and corporate partners (sponsorship and recruitment clients).

The association's product portfolio comprises programs and services rather than technology products: regional chapter activities, the annual Trophées et Prix awards ceremony (running continuously since 2013), enterprise and partner services for corporate diversity recruitment, school outreach programs targeting teachers and counselors, student engagement programs, a board placement service (Femmes administratrices), an RSE (CSR) commission, and member-only services including publications and networking. Notable 2026 initiatives include the Hackathon Women In Gen AI (2nd edition) and participation in MEDEF's Code F national diversity initiative.

FI's business model is membership-dues-driven, with annual recurring subscriptions from individual women engineers and corporate partners; pricing is not publicly disclosed and registration is conducted online via the association's website. Revenue is supplemented by corporate partnership contributions and event activity. The association is governed by a board of administratrices, operates without a parent company or external ownership structure, and relies on member subscriptions and corporate sponsorships to fund its mission-driven operations.

Regional players

• WISE (Women in Science and Engineering): UK-based campaign and community promoting women in science, engineering, technology and mathematics. Comparable to FI in mission and structure, but operating primarily in the UK rather than France.
• European Women in Tech: Pan-European organization supporting women in technology through events, mentoring, and awards. Comparable to FI's mission but with broader geographic scope across Europe and a tech-focused rather than engineering-specific lens.

Direct peers

• Society of Women Engineers (SWE): US-based non-profit organization dedicated to empowering women in engineering and technology. SWE is the most established international counterpart to Femmes Ingénieures, sharing the same mission of supporting women engineers through networking, awards, outreach, and corporate partnerships.
• IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE): International affinity group of IEEE focused on promoting women engineers and scientists, with chapters worldwide. Directly comparable to FI's mission of advancing women in engineering, with similar programs in awards, mentorship, and member engagement.
• Association Française des Femmes Ingénieurs (AFFI - historical): Historical antecedent or sister organization to FI in France. Listed as the related association reference for FI's own website, representing the same national advocacy focus for women engineers in France.
• Fondation Femmes@Numérique: French foundation dedicated to promoting gender diversity in digital and technology professions. Closest French peer to FI, addressing the same women-in-STEM challenge with a slightly broader digital-tech focus.
• Cercle InterL: French network of women in finance, technology, and industry leadership. Co-appeared with FI at the Cercle InterL 25th anniversary colloquium in April 2026, and shares a similar mission of advancing women in male-dominated industries.
