Trade Opportunities

The Italian Chamber of Commerce in Canada is your link between Italy, Vancouver, Edmonton, and Calgary. ICCC’s bilingual staff can research company profiles through its extensive database, successfully connecting you with local and international business partners.

Members are invited to participate in trade events organized by ICCC which introduce "Made in Italy" products into Canada. Delegations representing sectors such as Italian fashion, footwear, food, wine, tourism, and furniture are showcased while business to business meetings are organized between the visiting delegates and Members.

ICCC also organizes sectoral trade missions to Italy, arranging business partnering and business matching forums for Canadian companies. ICCC can offer free travel and accommodations for qualifying participating companies.

Our preferred business programme offers discounts to Members from businesses both locally and internationally. Each Member receives an annual Membership Card Booklet and Membership Card, entitling Members to discounts on items such as hotels, restaurants, car rentals, and other services while visiting any of the 72 countries in which an Italian Chamber of Commerce operates.

Networking Opportunities

Italian Chamber of Commerce members are invited to regular monthly networking events which take place in Vancouver, Calgary, and Edmonton. Meet your next business partner at one of the Chamber’s prestigious gala dinners or at a monthly member’s networking event.

Participate in our annual “Flavours of Italy”- a month long promotion of Italian food, wine, and consumer products.

ICCC events feature keynote speakers and are regularly attended by many Italian and Canadian business leaders from both the public and private sector.

Whether business is on your mind or social activity, your Membership gets you on Vancouver’s busiest invitation list.
