ANFIA - ASSOCIAZIONE NAZIONALE FILIERA INDUSTRIA AUTOMOBILISTICA

THE ITALIAN ASSOCIATION OF THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY IS ONE OF THE LEADING ITALIAN TRADE ASSOCIATIONS WITH OVER 400 MEMBER COMPANIES.

A body capable of representing and offering services to companies in the automotive sector in order to support and strengthen their competitiveness, their growth in foreign markets and their integration within transportation systems through: close relationships with national and international institutions; networking activities; participation in legislative and technical committees, studies and analyses within the sector plus training and consultancy.

Born in March 1912, over these one hundred years, ANFIA mission has always been to represent the interests of its associate members and ensure effective communication between the Italian motor vehicle industries on the one hand, and the Public Administration and Italian political bodies on the other, with regard to all technical, economic, fiscal, legal, statistical and quality-related issues referred to the automotive sector.

The Association is structured in three product-based Groups:

  • Components: motor vehicle parts and components manufacturers;

  • Car Designer & Engineering: companies working in the sector of design, engineering and style of motor vehicles and/or parts and components for the automotive sector;
  • Motor vehicles: motor vehicles manufacturers in general, including trucks, trailers, camper vans, special means of transport and/or intended for special use, such as fitting and specific equipment mounted on motor vehicles.

Italian car design has always had strong roots in the North-West of the country and is a unique example of territorial concentration of the different forms of know-how that belong to the world of motor vehicles. This is a large area that has been able to invest, well before others, in the planning of systemic activities - the design of a vehicle from the blank sheet to production - thus becoming a global reference point. The group's ethos is based on the enhancement of its diversity and the complementary skills and specialisations of its member companies.

Vision

Since ANFIA's Vision is to create value for the automotive industry, the association has always been committed to offering new tools to get closer to the needs of companies. Hence the starting point for a call for ideas through a revised formula of the already well-known hackathons.
