The Italian Trade Commission (ICE) is the Government agency whose overall aim is to increase the international competitiveness of Italian small and medium-sized enterprises (SME). ICE provides technical assistance and information to Italian industry and its partners.

The ICE office in Brussels monitors EU-funded programmes on a continuous basis. Information forwarded to Italian SME's includes details of current EU strategies, aid programmes, projects and calls for proposals and tenders.

In addition, the Brussels office, on the basis of a network of European institutional contacts (Permanent Representations of Member States to the EU, European Trade Promotion Organisations' offices in Brussels) is formulating initiatives to assist Italian consultancy companies in developing their networking with regard to future participation in international tenders.

Since 1998 ICE Brussels, in cooperation with European institutional partners, has organised sector seminars open to companies of Member States engaged in European aid programmes.

The sectors in question are Transport, Institution Building, Energy, Water Management, SME Development, Waste Management, Rural Development, Health and Education/Vocational training.

The Italian Trade Commission in Brussels has included in this directory detailed profiles of Italian consultancy companies who participated in the seminars. The aim is to provide a valuable information tool on Italian consulting to EU organisations and European consultancies.
