Foundation bases of "Businessmen Association" in Isfahan go back to over 100 years ago. This action was a valuable incentive to establish the "Chamber of Commerce" in 1931. By the collective efforts of Isfahan artisans "Chamber of Industry" was also formed, which was merged to "Chamber of Commerce" in 1970, and the "Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Mines" was formed. In 2012 the chamber changed to "Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture", referred to as "ECCIMA". Isfahan Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture, was awarded as "The Best Local Chamber" (Big Chamber Category) by The Confederation of Asia – Pacific Chambers of Commerce and Industry (CACCI) in October 2012; in recognition of its outstanding achievement in promoting the industrial, commercial and social well-being of its community, and in supporting the chamber movement in the region.
