Turin, the former capital of the province, and capital of the present day Metropolitan City of Turin, was the first national capital of unified Italy in 1861.[4]

The most important export items from the Turin province are automobiles, machinery, and metal products. The province has commercial relations with Germany, France, Poland, Spain, United Kingdom, Romania and Czech Republic. A large quantity of import and export is carried with these nations.

Service is the most important economic sector accounting to 66% of the gross domestic product. The other two important sectors are industry (32%) and agriculture (2%).[4] In order to promote entrepreneurship, the provincial body has started "Start Your Own Business" (Italian: Mettersi in Proprio), an advice service to help aspiring entrepreneurs who have new business ideas.[4]
