The Italian–Australian business community gathered in Perth for a distinguished evening hosted by the Italian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI Perth) in collaboration with Shaw and Partners, marking the first official visit to Western Australia by the Ambassador of Italy to Australia, Nicola Lener. ICCI Perth President Rob Monzu welcomed Ambassador Lener alongside Consul Federico Nicolaci and Vice Consul Emilio Sessa, together with an exclusive group of Premium Members, industry leaders, and key stakeholders.
The event provided an important platform to strengthen commercial and institutional ties between Italy and Western Australia while encouraging meaningful dialogue across sectors driving future economic growth.
A highlight of the evening was the formal introduction of APD Global as ICCI Perth’s inaugural Azzurri Strategic Partner. The recognition reflects APD Global’s commitment to fostering stronger business, innovation, and institutional connections between Italy and Australia, reinforcing the Chamber’s mission to elevate Italian enterprise within the region.
Ambassador Lener emphasised Western Australia opportunities for Italian collaboration across innovation, technology, energy and emerging industries sectors.
