Presented in this work is the most comprehensive INTEGRAL AGN sample: it includes 272 active galaxies for which optical identifications and redshifts are available. 2-10 keV fluxes and column density measurements are also collected for all the sample sources. For 33 new hard X-ray discovered AGN with no previous X-ray coverage, XRT and XMM data analysis is reported for the first time in this work. Examples of future studies which are being developed using this large X-ray selected sample are presented together with some early results.
