Codice ATECO 2025 Lookup

Look up Italian ATECO 2025 codes from a free-text business description. Returns the top N matches ranked by fuzzy semantic match against the official ISTAT ATECO 2025 classification (3.257 codes, in force from January 2025).

What it does

• Takes a list of free-text descriptions (Italian or English) of a business activity
• Returns the top matching ATECO 2025 codes with title, hierarchy level, and confidence score
• Supports filtering by minimum hierarchy level (sections, divisions, groups, classes, subcategories, full categories)
• Bundled offline dataset — fast, deterministic, no API calls

Use cases

CRM & onboarding tools — Auto-classify Italian customer companies during signup with a free-text "what do you do?" field.

Tax & legal due diligence — Cross-check declared ATECO codes against actual described activities for compliance reviews.

Company data enrichment — Add structured ATECO codes to scraped Italian company datasets.

Migration ATECO 2007/2022 → 2025 — Re-classify legacy datasets after the April 2025 transition.

{
  "query": "sviluppo software gestionale",
  "rank": 1,
  "matchesFound": 3,
  "code": "62.01.00",
