Renga

Background

Renga is an engineering software product developed by ASCON for use in construction and design workflows. It is used as part of digital competencies training for construction students, including a six-month educational module completed by the first cohort of a program run across five Russian regions. Its role is to provide practical software tools for learning and applying digital skills in the construction sector, which has made it relevant to vocational education and broader efforts to expand technical training.

The product is associated with ASCON, a Russian engineering software company, and fits within the country’s domestic industrial software sector. As an engineering application, it is positioned for use by students and professionals involved in construction-related digital modeling and workflow training. In institutional terms, it sits within the private technology and software economy rather than the state apparatus, while still intersecting with public education initiatives and sectoral workforce development.

Its recent visibility comes from its use in a federal-style training effort for construction college students, where it formed part of a structured digital skills curriculum. The program’s completion of an initial cohort and plans for expansion in 2026 indicate ongoing integration of such software into construction education. This reflects a broader emphasis on building digital competencies in technical colleges and on using Russian-developed software in applied training environments.
