The Joint Italian Arab Chamber of Commerce (JIACC) was born in September 2015 from the impulse of numerous authoritative representatives of the industry, the banking system and Italian institutions, with the support from the Arab side of the most important business groups and major institutions, from the Arab League to the Union of Chambers of Commerce and the Arab Embassies in Rome.
It is an inclusive, non-profit association with a strong bilateral vocation, which intends to act as a meeting point between Italian companies and Arab countries, performing on the one hand a function of assistance and support to the internationalization processes in these markets, and on the other, contributing to the promotion of the country system.
It is no coincidence that the commercial exchange between Italy and Arab countries has doubled in the last fifteen and that the countries of the MENA area represent the main outlet market for Italian products , after the European one. It is an expanding market, with a relatively young population, which presents great opportunities for Italian companies.
And it is precisely in this context that our association fits, which has the task of helping companies to overcome the difficulties deriving from approaching complex markets, creating the conditions to allow a fruitful and lasting economic and commercial exchange, also promoting a better knowledge of culture of the countries with which they interface.
