Fondazione Consiglio Nazionale Ingegneri

What Fondazione Consiglio Nazionale Ingegneri does

Fondazione Consiglio Nazionale Ingegneri (Fondazione CNI) is an Italian non-profit foundation established in 2015 and headquartered in Rome at Via XX Settembre 5, operating as the operational arm of the Consiglio Nazionale degli Ingegneri (CNI), the statutory national body governing Italian engineers. It serves approximately 251,428 registered engineers through a network of 106 provincial Orders, delivering integrated professional services through its mying.it digital platform. Core offerings include certified email (PEC), the WorkING job portal, the CERTING ISO 17024-accredited professional certification program (the only such accredited body for engineers in Italy), Formazione continuing education, RaCing professional liability insurance, the EUR ING European engineer credential, and supplementary services such as Bandi (public tender search), GEOWEB (cadastral data), TalkING (social networking), and Ordingegneri.it (SaaS for provincial Orders). The foundation is organized into six internal departments covering studies, certification, employment, training, innovation, and internationalization, with the Centro Studi CNI producing official statistical and economic research on the profession.

The platform integrates these services behind a single engineer identity, with subscription pricing in the €20–€96 annual range for individual utilities and per-assessment fees for certifications. Revenue mechanics derive from individual subscriptions, certification fees, insurance commissions via partnerships (notably Aon for RaCing), training administration fees, public and private conventions, and procurement activity managed internally (approximately €8M in 2025 procedures). Distribution is structural: the foundation is a mandatory engagement point for practicing engineers in Italy and provides shared technology infrastructure to all provincial Orders, giving it quasi-monopoly reach into the Italian engineering workforce. Commercial expansion is being pursued through new certifications (BIM, Esperto in Transizione Digitale), the ANCI urban-regeneration partnership, and European engagement via the Erasmus+ Concreto project.

Direct peers

• Engineering Council (UK): The UK regulatory body for the engineering profession, responsible for registering Chartered Engineers, ICTTech and Engineering Technicians and accrediting degree programs - directly analogous to Fondazione CNI's role for Italian engineers, including competency registration and CPD.
• Engineers Australia: Australia's national engineering professional body, operating a chartered engineer registration system, continuing professional development framework, and member services platform - a direct international analogue to CERTING + Formazione + the wider Fondazione CNI ecosystem.
• Engineers Europe (formerly FEANI): The European federation of national engineering organizations that operates the EUR ING European engineer certificate - a direct counterpart and partner of Fondazione CNI for the EUR ING Italian mobility track.
• Ordem dos Engenheiros (Portugal): The Portuguese national order of engineers - the closest functional peer to Italy's CNI/Fondazione CNI model, with statutory mandate to register engineers, oversee CPD, and certify competencies at national level.
• Engineers Ireland: Ireland's statutory professional body for engineers, handling chartered registration, CPD oversight and member services across the profession - comparable in mandate and scope of services to Fondazione CNI.
• National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE): The US professional society of licensed professional engineers, providing ethics oversight, continuing education and member services - functionally analogous to Fondazione CNI's CERTING and Formazione streams.
• VDI - Verein Deutscher Ingenieure: Germany's largest technical-scientific association of engineers, providing certification, continuing education, professional networks and standards services - a closely comparable professional engineering membership and certification organization.
• Ingénieurs et Scientifiques de France (IESF): The French federation representing engineering and scientific professionals, with a national register, professional titles, ethics oversight and policy advocacy - structurally aligned with CNI/Fondazione CNI's mandate.

Broad incumbents

• Project Management Institute (PMI): The global certification body for project managers (PMP, CAPM, PDUs) - a broader incumbent operating the same membership-and-CPD model and global certification monetization that CERTING and Formazione apply to Italian engineers.
• RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors): A larger, globally established chartered professional body built on member credentialing, CPD, and certification-across-built-environment competencies - broader scope than Fondazione CNI but adjacent in professional licensing and continuing education business model.
