Launched in 1999 by IICCI - The Indo-Italian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Impresa Awards stand as a prestigious recognition of entrepreneurial and managerial excellence among companies operating within the Indo-Italian business corridor. Over the years, these awards have grown into a benchmark of quality, innovation, and cross-cultural success, honouring organisations and individuals who have made a meaningful impact on the bilateral economic relationship.
The Impresa Awards celebrate those who represent the best of Italian business values—innovation, design, quality, and sustainability—while successfully engaging with India’s dynamic and diverse market. By acknowledging outstanding achievements across key strategic areas, the awards aim to inspire and encourage greater collaboration between Italian and Indian enterprises.
Award Categories
The Impresa Awards focus on areas that are central to the future of Indo-Italian collaboration:
1. Innovation & Industry 4.0
This category recognizes companies that have demonstrated excellence in technological innovation, digital transformation, and advanced manufacturing. Awardees lead in integrating cutting-edge technologies to boost productivity, efficiency, and competitiveness.
2. Sustainability and Circular Economy
This award honors businesses that are committed to sustainable development through eco-conscious initiatives, resource efficiency, and circular economy models. It reflects the shared Italian and Indian vision for a greener, more responsible industrial future.
3. Community Building and Social Inclusion
Celebrating initiatives that contribute to inclusive growth, this category focuses on projects promoting education, healthcare, skill development, employment generation, and community well-being.
New Categories from the Upcoming Edition
From the forthcoming edition onward, the scope of the Impresa Awards expands with the addition of three new categories, reflecting the evolving Indo-Italian business landscape:
4. Emerging Italian Enterprise in India
Awarded to newly established or fast-growing Italian companies that show strong potential, innovation, and agility in navigating the Indian market.
5. Italian Leadership Excellence in India
This category honors Italian professionals and business leaders in India who exemplify outstanding leadership, cross-cultural management, and strategic vision.
6. Italian Brand of the Year in India

Celebrating a Shared Journey of Growth
Now in its third decade, the Impresa Awards remain a cornerstone initiative of the IICCI, reinforcing its commitment to promoting bilateral trade, investment, and cultural exchange. By celebrating the stories of Indo-Italian success, the Awards provide not only recognition but also a platform for dialogue, partnership, and future growth.
