REMINDER PRESS ACCREDITATION NOTE
ITALY-ALGERIA BUSINESS FORUM
Parco dei Principi Hotel
23 July 2025
On the occasion of the Intergovernmental Summit between Italy and Algeria, scheduled to take place in Rome on 23 July, the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, in collaboration with Italian Trade Agency, is organising the Italy–Algeria Business Forum at the Parco dei Principi Hotel in Rome.
The Forum will open with an institutional address by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Antonio Tajani.
This will be followed by thematic panels focusing on key areas of economic cooperation between the two countries, with the participation of managers from Italian and Algerian companies in the fields of energy and circular economy, infrastructure and transport, sustainable agriculture, advanced manufacturing, and the pharmaceutical sector. A particular focus will be placed on B2B meetings: 130 desks will be set up for Algerian companies, each of which will hold two hours of pre-scheduled appointments with Italian counterparts, in addition to informal networking opportunities throughout the day.
The afternoon plenary session will open with a segment on the partnership inspired by Enrico Mattei, followed by discussions on opportunities for bilateral trade and investment, and on the financial instruments available to support the bilateral partnership.
With around 500 companies registered from both Italy and Algeria, the 23 July Business Forum demonstrates the strong interest of economic operators in enhancing trade and investment ties, and confirms itself as a key opportunity to further strengthen the already solid bilateral economic partnership – most recently reaffirmed during the business roundtable chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister Tajani in Algiers on 3 March.
As Italy’s leading gas supplier, Algeria is the country’s top economic partner on the African continent. Italy is Algeria’s largest customer and second-largest supplier, with exports reaching EUR 2.9 billion in 2024. Over 150 Italian companies currently operate in Algeria.
The opening remarks (09:00–09:30 a.m.) and the plenary session (from 2:00 p.m. onwards) will be open to the press. A group photo will follow the MoU/B2B Agreement signing ceremony.
Both the opening remarks and the plenary session will be livestreamed on the Farnesina’s official YouTube channel.
