The second quarter of 2026 confirms the resilience of Italy's business system. Between April and June, the balance between new business registrations and closures remained positive, with a net increase of 32,709 businesses, resulting from 83,169 new registrations and 50,460 closures (excluding administrative cancellations). The growth rate held steady at +0.56%, the same as in the second quarter of 2025, bringing the total number of registered businesses in Italy to 5,823,863.

During 2025, the InfoCamere Group distributed economic value amounting to approximately €133 million, strengthening sustainability initiatives and programmes benefiting innovation, institutional stakeholders, employees and the environment. This is highlighted in the 2025 InfoCamere Sustainability Report, recently presented to the Shareholders’ Meeting and now in its eighth edition.

The Shareholders’ Meeting of InfoCamere approved the 2025 Financial Statements. The financial year closed with a production value of €140.6 million, an increase of more than €7 million compared with the previous year (+5.2%). This growth reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation and the development of advanced services for businesses, citizens and Public Administration. The Shareholders’ Meeting also acknowledged the Consolidated Financial Statements of the InfoCamere Group.

Twenty-five years of investment in innovation, territorial development and, above all, in the growth of people. InfoCamere — the Italian Chambers of Commerce company for digital innovation — celebrates the first quarter-century of its presence in Bari. Born in 2001 as a start-up-style venture, the Bari office is today a centre of national excellence in technology for the digital transformation of public administration and businesses.

A total of 3.4 million man-days per year devoted to low-value administrative tasks, equivalent to a cost of € 673.9 million, which could be significantly reduced through digitalisation, by leveraging tools that already exist: this is the steep price tag of the obligations tied to the 10 most common self-certifications that Italian businesses must deal with, accounting for a total of 27.5 million filings.

Italy’s business system opens 2026 with an unexpected sign of vitality: there were 690 more companies between January and March, resulting from the difference between 105,051 registrations and 104,361 closures. This is a countertrend result, considering that the first quarter is historically affected by the consolidation of closures carried over from the end of the previous year. The only precedent in the past decade dates back to 2021, but in an exceptional context shaped by pandemic dynamics.
