Frequently Asked Questions about Memberships
Becoming a member means aligning your company with a trusted, long-standing institution that promotes Italian–American business relations.
Our network includes hundreds of companies – from small businesses to global groups – across key industries such as food & beverage, fashion, design, finance, sport, logistics, and legal services. As a member, you gain:
- Increased visibility and institutional credibility in the U.S. and Italy.
- Access to a curated network of decision-makers and industry partners.
- Opportunities to join B2B events, trade initiatives, and business missions.
Membership is valid for 12 months from the date of registration. During this period you can access all the benefits included in your membership tier.
The fee is a one-time annual payment. There is no automatic renewal: when your membership is close to expiration, you will be contacted to decide whether to renew.
The Priority List is reserved for members who are interested in joining business trips and delegation programs organized by the Chamber in Italy.
Being on the list means you are among the first to receive invitations to these initiatives, which often include partially or fully sponsored activities, meetings with Italian producers, and on-site market insights.
Please note: being on the Priority List does not automatically guarantee participation. Spots are limited and selection is based on the objectives of each specific mission.
B2B meetings are one-to-one matchmaking sessions where we introduce your company to potential partners, clients, or service providers that are aligned with your industry and goals.
Depending on the case, meetings can be held online or in person and are scheduled based on the availability and interest of both parties. Our team prepares the introductions and supports the follow-up phase.
Business referrals are qualified introductions to companies or professionals that may be relevant to your business.
Based on your profile and your priorities, we identify potential partners, clients, or service providers within our network and:
- share your information with them (with your consent);
- facilitate a first email connection or meeting;
- support you in evaluating next steps when needed.
The goal is to help you create meaningful, long-term business relationships — not just a one-off contact.
