Founded in 2018, CÁMARA BINACIONAL ECUATORIANO ITALIANA is a private nonprofit bilateral trade association that promotes commercial, industrial, and cultural relations between Ecuador and Italy. It primarily serves Ecuadorian businesses seeking Italian market access, Italian companies seeking Ecuadorian partners, and families of Italian ancestry.
