negg Group was proud to be part of the Italy–Norway Business Forum, held yesterday at the prestigious Palazzo della Farnesina in Rome.
The event brought together over 200 company representatives from both countries, opened by Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani and Norwegian Minister of Trade and Industry Cecilie T. Myrseth, a strong signal of the strategic importance of this bilateral relationship.
The Forum explored some of the most forward-looking sectors shaping the future of both economies:
⚡ Energy transition
🚢 Green maritime transport
🛡️ Defence, cyber security & critical infrastructure protection
The numbers speak for themselves: Italy–Norway trade exceeded €6 billion in 2025, growing +116.7% over the past five years. Italy is now Norway's 3rd largest European trade partner and with Norway's recent discovery of Europe's largest rare earth deposit (15.9M+ tonnes), the opportunities ahead are enormous.
