FIDIC – helping to create a better world for everyone
Since 1913, the Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils or more commonly, the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC) and its members have played a crucial role in supporting, guiding and helping to advance the engineering, construction and infrastructure sector and drive change to improve the sustainability, wellbeing and economic prospects of society. FIDIC facilitates the sharing of knowledge, ideas and innovation to tackle the global challenges we face.
As a result, FIDIC’s reach goes beyond that of just the countries where its member associations (MAs) are located, establishing it as the global voice of the consulting engineering industry around the world.
