BRE’s challenge
Transferring the Italian Business Register model to a CBC level

BRE’s consistency
Is this project relevant? What ties BRE to innovation and connectivity?

BRE AT A GLANCE
BRE aims at exchanging Business Registers best practice on 3 levels:

• Technological (software and hardware architectures) > innovation itself;
• Regulative (framework of laws about company registration) > policy innovation;
• Operational (procedures for registration and office organization) > process innovation.

BRE’s background
Where is the innovation behind the Business Register organization?

1. Technological innovation: the Italian Business Register is fully computerized. It manages 6 million registered businesses and 10 million people. The Italian Business Register guarantees extreme timeliness in updating and accessing of data, managing a huge amount of information;
2. Regulative innovation: the Italian Business Register is a public register, managed by a public body and guarantees the truthfulness of the data,  settling law certainty to business environment. The Business Register in Italy releases a photograph of any company situation. It is possible to obtain information on a business partner or supplier, thus escaping from swindles;
3. Process innovation: all Italian Chambers of Commerce share their data in a single national company database. The Italian Business Register issues documents that are essential for the certification and economic information, favoring interaction among companies.
