The Italian Trade Agency (also ITA, in Italian: Agenzia ICE) is a government agency of the Italian Republic whose purpose is to promote foreign trade and Italy's exports. It was established in 1926 with the Decreto reale n. 800 with the name of INE (Istituto nazionale per le esportazioni, "National Institute for Exports") and had the main task of "promoting the development of exports of products coming from the Italian soil and industry". In 1935, the institute also developed specific skills in the field of imports by changing its name to Istituto nazionale per gli scambi con l'estero ("National Institute for Foreign Trade"). Subsequently, in 1945 it took the name ICE – Istituto nazionale per il commercio estero.[1]

In July 2011, the ICE was abolished and shortly after in December 2011 it was reconstituted in the form of government agency with the name "ICE – Agency for the promotion abroad and internationalization of Italian companies" (ICE – Agenzia per la promozione all'estero e l'internazionalizzazione delle imprese italiane). After about 12 months of transitional management, from 1 January 2013 the new ICE Agency has been operational to support Italian exports and investments around the world and to encourage foreign investments in Italy. Outside Italy, it's best known as the Italian Trade Agency (ITA).
