Iran-Italy Chamber of Commerce

What Iran-Italy Chamber of Commerce does

The Iran-Italy Chamber of Commerce (IICCIM) is a Tehran-headquartered, private-sector non-governmental organization founded in 1990 to facilitate bilateral trade between Iranian and Italian businesses. It positions itself as the oldest and most active joint chamber in Iran, maintaining a member base of over 5,500 companies across both countries spanning industry, mining, transportation, agriculture, tourism, trade/banking/insurance, branding, and innovation. The chamber operates through five specialized committees and delivers services including visa facilitation (notably Schengen visas via direct Italian Embassy and Consulate relationships), trade and commercial consultation, business delegation dispatch and reception, partner-finding, trade-fair information, exhibitions and B2B sessions, and the bilingual quarterly magazine 'Il Mondo Migliore'. It also runs educational courses in partnership with Amir Kabir and Sharif Universities on international marketing, crisis management, digital marketing, and commercial etiquette, and offers free Italian business-language content on Instagram.

The chamber generates revenue through annual recurring membership fees from Iranian and Italian businesses, supplemented by event, exhibition, seminar, and B2B session income. Its go-to-market is sales-led and direct: membership enrollment, in-person consultations, and coordinated delegations delivered primarily from its single Tehran office, with sister-chamber linkage to the Italy-Iran Chamber in Rome under a renewed memorandum of cooperation. Underlying technology is limited — the organization explicitly does not rely on significant proprietary technology, with operational value derived from institutional access, the member directory, and recently expanded digital content distribution including a virtual edition of the magazine and access to the ICC One Click Portal via the parent Iran Chamber ecosystem. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and interested parties must contact the chamber directly.
