Pien Bennen is based in Varese, northern Italy. She has been active since 1988 as a marketing consultant and researcher, with vast experience in the agricultural, food, consumer goods, medical and metalworking sectors for European clients. Through the years, she has worked closely with various Chambers of Commerce and the Agency for International Business and Cooperation (Dutch EVD) in organising trade missions to Italy. Apart from that she also works directly for European companies. Additionally, for years she was responsible for the marketing and promotion of Dutch fruit and vegetables in Italy, on behalf of the Dutch Federation of Fruit and Vegetable Auctioneers (CBT) and later for the Dutch Potato Bureau (NIVAA).

Kristel Daelman founded the consultancy Link International Relations in 1997. From Ancona, she advises Dutch, Belgian and French companies in their efforts to break into the north and central Italian markets. Apart from market research and trade missions for Chambers of Commerce, she also organises individual trade business trips (if necessary personally accompanied as consultant and interpreter), as well as taking care of the Italian back office activities for several European organisations. She is widely experienced in the B2B sector.

Claudia Zanin works from her office in ‘s-Hertogenbosch (in the Netherlands). In 1998 she started her own marketing consultancy Italia Promotion, with a focus on doing business in and with Italy. This bureau specialises in (export)strategy development and marketing support for Italian companies, state institutions and export organisations that wish to bring their products and services to the attention of Dutch, Belgian and German consumer markets. In 1999 she started with the internet portals www.italie.nl and www.italie.be. Claudia Zanin is a partner of Link2Italy on the Dutch and Belgian markets.
