The Italian Technology Award program consists of a competition that asks upper-level students attending major universities in the United States to submit a paper on the relative innovation occurring in mechanical engineering-related industries and the problems they face. The purpose of the program is to enrich the engineering education of students and advance knowledge of important issues within capital goods industries for the next generation of engineering professionals.

The Italian Trade Agency's Machines Italia program connects North American manufacturers with Italian machinery and solution providers, while highlighting upcoming industry events and provides contact information for its 15 member associations, which represent over 10,000 Italian manufacturing companies across various sectors.
