The Vercelli Chamber of Commerce is developing the project “CC Factor” that aims at the creation, through the various local Chambers, of a network of young entrepreneurs and professionals of CEI countries (the CEI is an international organization that includes 17 Countries: Albania, Austria, Belarus, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Macedonia, Moldavia, Poland, Romania, Serbia-Montenegro Slovakia, Slovenia, and Ukraine) to encourage cooperation relationships and trade contacts in the new markets.

The annual Forum closing the operating year 2004 of the Organization took place in Slovenia as holder of the Presidency on duty.

The Project of the Vercelli Chamber of Commerce, which has the support of Unioncamere of Rome and Unioncamere Piemonte and also the patronage of Regione Piemonte, has been presented in the “Project Room” of the event through a divulgation stand and deepening speeches in which participated also the representatives of the Women Entrepreneurship Committee and of the Youth Entrepreneurs Council.

In the picture the Minister of Foreign Trade Mr. Adolfo Urso has met the delegation from Vercelli.

The Vercelli Chamber has repeated in this way last year’s experience in Warsaw, enriching its message with concrete contents, such as the achieved results (13 Chambers of 5 Eastern Countries project partners) and the prospects in the short/medium term, among which stands out the 1st CEI Young Entrepreneurs and Professionals Convention that will take place in Vercelli in Spring 2006.
