The mission of the International Federation of Pastry, Ice Cream and Chocolate is to form a capillary network of all the businesses in the sector on a national and international level (schools, wholesalers, associations, businesses, etc.). Its objective is to promote collaboration and support growth in the sector, offering visibility to artisan companies and local products. To this end, the Federation organises professional training courses, events and fairs.
The Federation is distributed throughout Italy, with delegates for every region and sub-delegates for every province, and is increasingly wider spread on an international level. The FIP has an internal roll of honour called the “Italian Pastry, Ice cream and Chocolate Excellence Equipe" (www.soipgc.it) which includes its many members who have won over 580 gold medals in international competitions.
