There is a building on Avenue Henri Jaspar in Brussels, a few minutes from the European institutions, where Italian and Belgian businesses have been meeting since 1950. The Belgian-Italian Chamber of Commerce, Camera di Commercio Belgo-Italiana, was founded that year with a single, durable purpose: to foster contacts between two countries that had been rebuilding their economies from the rubble of the same war, and that understood, before most, that trade was a form of peace.
Seventy-five years later, the Chamber is something more than a trade facilitator. It is a node in the European institutional fabric, a place where companies, diplomats, researchers and policy-makers converge to navigate the complexity of doing business across borders, regulatory systems and languages. The bilateral trade relationship it supports has grown to exceed 46 billion euros annually. Under Italian law and the framework of Assocamerestero, the Chamber offers consultancy, promotional services, European project participation, and educational programmes to companies that want to expand in Italy or Belgium, and, increasingly, to use Brussels as a gateway to the rest of Europe and the European institutions that shape the rules of the single market.
Giorgio De Bin has led the Chamber as Secretary General since January 2024, and as Managing Director since 2022. He holds an MBA from the Solvay Business School in Brussels and a degree in Economics and Management from Ca’ Foscari University in Venice, a formation that straddles the Italian and Belgian worlds he now navigates professionally. His background combines European affairs, strategy, entrepreneurship and EU funding, a profile that is precisely calibrated for an institution whose work lives at the intersection of business, policy and institutional representation.
His presence at EuAReman 2026 is significant for a reason that goes beyond networking. Brussels is where the regulation that will shape the future of remanufacturing is written: the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, the Digital Product Passport, the right to repair directives that are transforming the legal landscape of European manufacturing. An institution positioned at the heart of that regulatory environment, with the capacity to connect Italian industrial actors to European decision-making processes, is not a peripheral partner for EuAReman. It is one of the channels through which the work done in Palermo finds its way into the rooms where the rules are made.
