At the heart of the international business world since 1964.

The mission of the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Canada (ICCC) is to reinforce economic links between Italy and Canada, with a particular focus on Quebec. It fosters the development of business relationships between the principal economic players, both public and private, by providing productive leadership. The Chamber has evolved in tandem with numerous partners in Italy, Canada and Quebec, and offers a full range of services that contribute to the success of international marketing projects.

The ICCC, a private not-for-profit organization, supports bilateral economic initiatives by playing a frontline role vis-à-vis key decision-makers. Its network – extending across two continents – works to build strategic alliances and enables organizations and enterprises to capitalize on the business opportunities available in international markets. Its action is particularly beneficial to SME’s trying to break into overseas markets.

Over the years, the Chamber has acquired much expertise in the innovation sectors, including aviation, biotechnology, telecommunications, genomics, nanotechnology and the chemicals industry. It also dedicates itself to promoting the more traditional sectors, which remain economic pillars both in Italy, Quebec and Canada.

A bilateral body, the ICCC plays an important role in the business strategy of Italy’s Ministry of International Trade and Quebec’s Ministry of Economic Development, Innovation and Export Trade. It enjoys considerable credibility internationally and its effectiveness is recognized among the world’s key economic players. Its dynamism makes it one of the most active chambers of commerce in Italy within the Assocamerestero (grouping of Italian overseas chambers of commerce). As well as its central bureau in Montreal, the ICCC has offices in Quebec City, Milan and Naples.
