The World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO) is an international, non-governmental organization representing the engineering profession worldwide.
Founded in 1968 under the auspices of UNESCO in Paris, WFEO brings together national engineering organizations from some 100 nations and represents more than 30 million engineers from around the world. WFEO is the sole body representing the engineering profession of all kinds and disciplines at world level. It is an international platform where issues related to engineering are discussed and addressed. A key objective is to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through engineering.
