Date: May 4, 2023 Meeting with the heads of the Italy-Iran Chamber of Commerce & Industry and B2B with Italian & Iranian private sector companies

Asre Gotegoo Qalam Institute, with the cooperation and coordination of the Ferdowsi Legal team, organized a lecture session and B2B meeting between Italian and Iranian companies’ managers from the private sector in the conference hall of the Italy-Iran Chamber of Commerce and Industry on May 4, 2023.

The Institute of Asr Diaspora Qalam is grateful to Mr. Giuseppe Zampini, President of CCII, Dr. Pier Luigi D’Agata, and the CCII team for welcoming the group of Iranian company managers in Rome and organizing very practical and interesting B2B meetings and exchange of views between Italian and Iranian businessmen.

CCII mentioned: 30% of Iranian companies, like most Italian companies, have family businesses whose management consists of family members. This similarity of activity facilitates business and cooperation between the economic actors of the two countries.

Many Iranian private sector companies have a great appetite for European products and skills, especially in the IT sector. The private sector of both countries can play a greater role in improving bilateral trade. 500 million euros of Italy’s exports to Iran and 150 million euros of exports from Iran to Italy are a small part of which we hope that the trade ratio of the two Iranian countries will reach at least 5 billion euros.

At the end of the B2B meeting, the managers of the companies of both countries exchanged their information.
