It is governed by President Giovanni Bort with Director Massimo Travaglia overseeing operations, and is funded through membership fees and service revenues rather than external investment. The organization maintains a broad partner ecosystem including the Provincia Autonoma di Trento, the municipality of Rovereto, Trentino Marketing, Trentino Sviluppo, FBK (Fondazione Bruno Kessler), the Università di Trento, and MART.

Others

• Camera di Commercio di Trento: Public chamber of commerce for the same Trentino territory. Provides overlapping business services (registry, training, advocacy) but as a public body rather than a private member association.

• Confindustria Trento: Confindustria provincial chapter for Trentino, representing larger industrial and service businesses. Operates in the same territory with overlapping advocacy and member service functions but targets a larger-enterprise member base.
