Dear Minister, would you like to hand out some tastings of Norwegian Seafood? “Of course!” was the answer from the Minister of Fisheries and Ocean Polices, Marianne Sivertsen Næss. This week she took the opportunity to hand out tastings of top-quality Norwegian seafood in the supermarket Deco Gourmet while she was in Rome for the Committee on Fisheries meeting at the FAO headquarters 🐟 At the supermarket she got a guided tour by Luigi Colucci and his colleagues to see the wide variety of seafood offered before she put on the apron and started to serve Norwegian stockfish, baccalà and salmon to both hungry shoppers and journalists 📢 We also arranged a press lunch where national, business and food magazines and newspapers joined. The Minister together with a group from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries and the Norwegian Ambassador to Italy, Johan Vibe answered questions related to topics such as seafood exports, sustainability, as well as the strong and long-lasting relations between Norway and Italy when it comes to seafood. Una giornata fantastica per Seafood from Norway! 🌟Jennifer Francesca Mazzilli, Norwegian Seafood Council, Royal Norwegian Embassy in Rome

➡️ How to secure critical raw materials supply to Europe amidst the current geopolitical tensions? How to build a strong and resilient European industrial base? These challenges were the focus of a roundtable we hosted yesterday at the Ambassador's residence, on the initiative of Norge Mineraler and with the participation of Norsk Bergindustri and The Geological Survey of Norway. Critical raw materials are essential for the green and digital transitions, as well as for aerospace and defense industries. To mitigate its vulnerabilities and achieve strategic autonomy, Europe must diversify its CRM imports, and strengthen alliances with like-minded partners. Norway has the potential to significantly contribute to this effort, especially with the recent discovery of Europe’s largest rare earth elements deposit. Minimize environmental impact and ensuring high ESG standards will be of utmost importance. Thank you to all participants for the insightful discussion, and especially to Fabrizio Lobasso, Deputy General Director for the Promotion of Italy at Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale; Alberto Castronovo, Head of Internationalisation Unit at Ministero delle Imprese e del Made in Italy; Pier Paolo Raimondi IAI - Istituto Affari Internazionali; Andrea Andreuzzi Confindustria; Henrik Schiellerup; Lars Joakim Hanssen; John Vergopoulos Virginia Olgiati #criticalrawmaterials #sustainability #EU #Norway #greentransition #strategicautonomy

This week, we had the pleasure of hosting an Italian Space delegation to Norway 🚀 The mission was led by Teodoro Valente, President of Agenzia Spaziale Italiana, and included representatives from the Italian defense and key Italian space companies. The Norwegian Ambassador to Italy Johan Vibe and the Italian ambassador to Norway Stefano Nicoletti also accompanied the group. Through insightful meetings with State Secretary Tore Sandvik of the Norwegian Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries, the Norwegian Space Agency, Innovation Norway and key Norwegian industry players, including KSAT – Kongsberg Satellite Services, delegation gained a deeper understanding of Norway's vibrant space sector. One of the highlights of the trip was the visit to Andøya Spaceport, the first spaceport in continental Europe. The first satellites are scheduled to be launched by 2024 by the German company Isar Aerospace. We are entering an exciting new chapter. With its unique infrastructure, Norway is well positioned to play a crucial role in supporting Europe's space autonomy. Italy and Norway are already strong good partners in Space and we are confident that this visit will lead to even closer cooperation between our two countries.

  What role can digitalization play in addressing the major challenges we face in healthcare today? This was the focus of the recent DNV Imatis AS event at the Norwegian residence in Rome. Norway's healthcare sector is on a rapid growth trajectory, with a significant 10% increase in annual value creation. To further develop and innovate in the healthcare sector, it is crucial to learn from the knowledge and experiences of others. The industry already has an annual export value of NOK 22 billion (EUR 2.2 billion), and there is potential to double this value by 2030.

At the center of the discussion with the Vice Prefect of Cagliari Gregorio was the complex current geopolitical landscape and security implications. In the Gulf of Oristano, the Ambassador visited HIGAS S.r.l.'s coastal LNG deposit, which plays a crucial role in ensuring the energy security of the region. A wide range of topics were explored during an engaging conversation with the President of AUTORITA' DI SISTEMA PORTUALE DEL MARE DI SARDEGNA Deiana, including challenges and opportunities for the maritime industry and potential opportunities in offshore wind energy. 📚 Lastly, the visit to Fondazione Giuseppe Dessì in Villacidro was a fantastic opportunity to reaffirm the importance of culture as a bridge between peoples and to support the inspiring initiative of connecting the Literary Parks of Norway and Sardinia.
