Since 1962 is active in Piedmont, based in Turin, the European Association of Entrepreneurs Executives - IDE - which groups together more than 150 people between entrepreneurs and senior executives of companies, operating in different sectors of the economy in Piedmont.
Association's primary purpose is to help form, through meetings, debates and other initiatives, entrepreneurs and Italian leaders to the responsibilities that they have to take on the job and in society at national and European framework.
Particular attention is paid to the process of economic integration, political, social and cultural development of the European Union according to the spirit and objectives of the founding Treaties.

Therefore it favors convivial meetings between entrepreneurs and executives associated with high public and private representatives, National and International, in order to exchange mutual economic, social, technical and cultural experiences at both business and professional level.
Usually IDE meetings, which also involved the institutional authorities of Turin and Piedmont, are held during an informal dinner and reserved at the conclusion of which the guest illustrates the theme chosen, allowing a brief exchange of questions and answers.
