The Chambers of Commerce satisfactorily meet the frequent need for data and information about businesses, felt by the businessworld in general. In fact, they offer entrepreneurs (farmers, dealers, craftsmen, industrialists etc.) the opportunity to know each other and do business.

The large amount of business-related data provided by the various Chambers of Commerce are collected in a centralised electronic database, which can be accesses by credit institutions, huge businesses, professionals, notaries public, business consultants and entrepreneurs.

The Chambers’ main sources of information are: the Computerised Registers of Businesses; the Computerised Register of Protests; the Register of Foreign Trade Businesses; the Globus Internationalisatio Desk; the Euro Info Centre; the PatLib and Pip Patent Information Centres; the Excelsior Information System; the Virgilio Project and JobTel Portal.

The Chambers network plays a key role in the dissemination of business information, by means of publications, periodicals, magazines, statistics, research studies, socio-economic analyses, and so on. Access to the large amount of information produced by the Chambers of Commerce is very easy, thanks to Starnet, the Chambers’ economic and statistical information Portal, and the web site www.camerecultura.it.

With a view to guaranteeing the permanent updating of the business information system, the Chambers of Commerce provide a large amount of information concerning rules, regulations and the possibility to benefit from tax concessions or access credit.
