Chamber of Commerce of Bolzano

Mission Statement

A partner for companies

We represent general interests of South Tyrol’s economy. We are a corporation under public law that represents shared interests of South Tyrolean companies both towards all the other groups in society and towards the public administration. As an association of all companies, we work for all economic operators from various sectors. The obligatory registration of South Tyrolean companies in the Register of Companies permits us to stand up for the reconciliation of interests. The Bolzano Chamber of Commerce is a self-governing body of the economy. The entrepreneurs that have been elected to make part of the Chamber body make decisions and approve the program of activities, the budget and the financial statement.

 

Core values on which we base our conduct and actions

We advocate the free-enterprise system within the context of a social market economy.  Our aim is to improve framework conditions for the economy, contribute to a long-term positive economic development and to strengthen South Tyrol’s competitive position. We want to be a problem-solver for companies, a driving force for economic development and contribute to a positive attitude towards economic processes.

 

Our fields of activity

  • Representation of Interests

Our responsibility is the representation of South Tyrolean companies’ collective interests. Based on company surveys, we provide information about the economic situation, express expert opinions and elaborate proposals for action. Through a range of studies we examine strengths and weaknesses of South Tyrol’s economy and its characteristics as a business location. Moreover, on the basis of these studies and analyses we submit recommendations to decision-makers in business and politics.

  • Sovereign Activity

The state has delegated multiple sovereign activities to the Chambers of Commerce in order to guarantee a faster, better and cost-efficient allocation of the services offered to companies. These sovereign activities include the administration of the Register of Companies, directory of professions, duties and responsibilities in the field environmental protection, market regulation and issuing foreign trade documents.
