  • 4 or 5 nights’ hotel accommodation in Rome;
  • interpreting services;
  • visits to 27 artisan showrooms and ateliers
  • b2b meetings
  • post mission marketing and promotional support

Canadian and international business professionals participating in the project will be accompanied by local Chamber of Commerce representatives and the Italian media to visit selected showrooms and ateliers and will be asked to chose artisans and select products which in their professional opinion have best chances to succeed in Canadian as well as North and South American markets.

In a second stage of the project, all participating business professionals from Canada, US and Brazil will receive marketing and promotional support from the Chamber to further develop, in their respective markets, commercial opportunities for those selected Roman artisans and their high-end hand made in Italy products.
