ICCO Canada has embarked on an exciting new project called CAMERA. CAMERA stands for the Italian Economic, Culture and Innovation Hub in Canada, which will be established in Toronto. The primary objective of CAMERA is to create a central destination center where the Italian and Canadian business communities can come together, collaborate, and experience Italian goods and services.CAMERA aims to be the ultimate meeting point and hub that encompasses the essence of "Italian Style." It will serve as a space for conducting business, networking, and engaging with the latest "made in Italy" products while immersing oneself in Italian culture. Additionally, CAMERA plans to develop a School of Entrepreneurship, which will serve as a meeting point for both Italian and Canadian companies interested in fostering business relationships.This project marks the first Italian Hub of this kind in Canada, offering a unique opportunity to explore the diverse output of Italian lifestyle, economy, and innovative ideas, ranging from food and aerospace to fashion, design, technology, and science. Beyond its economic significance, CAMERA will also serve as a landmark, providing a window into Italy for those curious about its rich heritage.CAMERA will host the offices of ICCO Canada, ensuring easy access to highly specialized staff. It will serve as a venue for ICCO Canada to organize events such as company presentations, aperitivi (Italian-style social gatherings), and custom events in collaboration with supporters, sponsors, partners, and Sistema Italia — an Italian government agency promoting economic development.ICCO Canada is an integral part of a vibrant and dynamic community, dedicated to advancing the interests of its members. The chamber offers a wide range of business-building activities, including planning dedicated events, implementing business and corporate strategies, coordinating trade and economic missions, and providing tailored business solutions for Italian and Canadian companies seeking to enter international markets. In recent years, ICCO Canada has experienced a growth in membership, particularly among young businesspeople who share a strong belief in the organization's mission. As a member of ICCO Canada's network, individuals and companies can expect support in establishing business and cultural alliances with entrepreneurs and global organizations in both Canada and Italy.
