Italy and Algeria have entered a new era of cooperation, signing thirteen strategic agreements covering security, energy, telecommunications, and economic development. This strengthened partnership paves the way for increased investment, enhanced digital connectivity, and greater opportunities for both local enterprises and international investors.
The summit, hosted in Rome, saw leaders from both countries commit to joint action on counter-terrorism and improved coordination on migration. Notably, an energy deal valued at $1.3 billion was signed between Eni and Sonatrach, marking a significant step in solidifying Algeria’s role as a major supplier of gas to Italy and Europe. This contract is expected to create stable returns for investors and open up the energy supply chain to new players in drilling, logistics, and infrastructure.
A preliminary agreement was also reached between Telecom Italia’s Sparkle unit and Algérie Telecom to establish a new subsea cable, dramatically boosting digital connectivity across the Mediterranean. This development is set to benefit businesses involved in construction, marine engineering, and digital services, while fostering innovation and employment in both countries.
Beyond these headline deals, over twenty memorandums and partnership agreements were formalized in sectors including industry, technical training, and healthcare. These initiatives, many backed by Italian funding, will create opportunities for local companies to engage in vocational training, manufacturing, and the delivery of health services.
For investors, this partnership aligns with broader investment agendas aimed at supporting sustainable economic growth in North Africa. Local businesses stand to benefit from increased foreign direct investment, technology transfer, and the expansion of regional markets. The strategic alignment between Italy and Algeria signals a period of stability, innovation, and inclusive economic growth.
