About the Chamber
Italy and the Arab countries are linked by strong historical, cultural, political ties and proximity, which eventually led to the development of stable and diversified economic relations between them.
It is no coincidence that the trade between Italy and Arab countries has doubled in the last fifteen years and that the very countries of the MENA region represent the main outlet market for Italian products, after Europe. It is a growing market, with a relatively young population, which presents great opportunities for Italian companies.
And it is in this context that our association, which has the task of helping companies overcome the difficulties arising while dealing with complex markets, creates the conditions to allow an economic exchange and fruitful and lasting business, including promoting a better understanding of culture of the countries they interface.
The Joint Arab Italian Chamber of Commerce (JIACC) was founded in September 2015 thanks to the commitment of many prominent representatives from industry, banking system and Italian institutions, with the support from the Arab part of the most important business groups and major institutions, namely the Arab League, the Union of Chambers of commerce and the Arab Embassies in Rome.
It is an inclusive non-profit association, which intends to become a meeting point between Italian and Arab countries, by having on the one hand a function of assistance and support to the internationalization process in those markets, and on the other, contributing to the promotion of the national economy.
