The Italian Chamber of Commerce in China (CCIC) is pleased to share with you an introduction to AIPA – Asia International Professionals Alliance, an international initiative promoted by the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Singapore through its International Professionals Department. The initiative has been joined by all partner Italian Chambers of Commerce in the Asia-Pacific region, including our Chamber.
AIPA was established to strengthen professional cooperation between Italy and the Asia-Pacific region and to connect lawyers, accountants, tax advisors, business consultants, financial experts and other professionals who support companies in their international expansion.
We would like to highlight that one of the services available to our Members is the opportunity to join the AIPA network free of charge and be listed on its digital platform, gaining greater international visibility and creating opportunities for new collaborations.
At the heart of the project is the AIPA digital platform, which will be officially launched during the APAC Strategic Business Forum, scheduled to take place in Rome on 5–6 December 2026 at the Hotel A. Roma Lifestyle. However, the Forum is only the starting point: the platform is designed to support ongoing activities and collaboration opportunities throughout the year.
Through the platform, participating professionals and firms will be able to:
- Present their professional profiles, including their firm’s name and logo, practice areas, countries of operation and, on a voluntary basis, a contact person;
- Publish articles and insights on legal, tax, accounting, financial, customs and regulatory matters;
- Share webinars, presentations, publications and newsletters;
- Contribute country-specific business updates;
- Promote training initiatives and knowledge-sharing activities;
- Connect with colleagues, firms and companies in Italy and across the Asia-Pacific region.
The AIPA network brings together eight partner Italian Chambers of Commerce across the Asia-Pacific region and aims to facilitate access to qualified local expertise. In particular, Italian professionals seeking support in a specific market will be able to contact the relevant Chamber, which can provide a list of AIPA members operating in that country, thereby facilitating meaningful connections and concrete collaboration opportunities. The Chambers will also be able to publish country briefings, webinars, information on trade fairs and business missions, as well as projects and initiatives for Italian companies.
The Rome Forum will offer two days of dialogue, in-depth discussions and networking, featuring sessions dedicated to market entry strategies, international taxation, corporate structuring, wealth planning and Family Offices, regulatory frameworks and investment opportunities. On 6 December, dedicated country sessions will provide insights from experts on individual markets.
We would also like to emphasise that participation in the Forum as a speaker is not a prerequisite for joining AIPA or benefiting from the opportunities offered by the network. Each professional and firm can contribute according to their expertise, interests and availability.

China is one of the key markets within the AIPA network, and we are confident that the participation of our Members will enrich the initiative with valuable expertise and experience, helping create new opportunities for collaboration between Italian and Asian professionals.
