About Us

Our Story

​​In 2013 fate reconnected Fulvio Italiano to his childhood friend Riccardo Maria Monti, then president of the Italian Trade Agency (ICE). Using his entrepreneurial experience, Fulvio proposed that they create an innovative business model to help other companies develop internationally while supporting them through any difficult patches along the way.
The idea was to create a unique company that would combine the best, most reliable, professionals from every nation of the world, to give entrepreneurs practical help when choosing new markets and to stand beside them as they face obstacles in new countries. With this concept, Business Development Bureau (BDB) Network was born.

Over the past 8 years, Fulvio and Riccardo have worked tirelessly to build BDB Network into an efficient, flexible, and innovative network that covers every need related to international business in over 60 countries around the world.

In 2021, BDB consolidated the network and introduced BDB USA, the new world hub of the BDB Network. BDB now stands ready to offer American companies a new benchmark in global business development assistance.

  • Complex relationship: different contacts and heavy communication processes
  • Don’t have a direct network and often subcontract work
  • Direct management with high costs and outdated solutions
  • Pre-packaged solution
  • Open channels, but don’t give operational support
  • Apparently there is a lower initial cost; but problems, operational implementation and bottom-of-the list costs are certainly higher

FREELANCE
CONSULENT

  • Necessity to travel
  • Don’t have a direct network and often subcontract work
  • Open channels, but don’t give operational support
  • Apparently there is a lower initial cost; but problems, operational implementation and bottom-of-the list costs are certainly higher

DIRECT
MANAGEMENT

  • Necessity to travel
  • If you don’t have a direct network, you will have to rely on locals that do not guarantee a link with the company (and a result)
  • Other costs for finding local partners and suppliers
  • In case of problems you should contact the large international consulting companies facing very high costs
  • No real knowledge of the dynamics of local foreign markets: it’s only empirical and data-based, but doesn’t take into account the real risks, such as: competition, bureaucracy, regulations
  • Search for and hire staff or consultants from each target country
