The business forum highlighted India and Italy’s shared commitment to strengthening industrial collaboration across priority sectors, in alignment with both nations' focus on technology-driven growth and sustainable industrial development.
Union minister of commerce and industry Piyush Goyal and Antonio Tajani held a bilateral meeting in Mumbai. Discussions centered on expanding trade, enhancing supply chain resilience, promoting technology partnerships, and deepening collaboration in clean mobility, green energy, advanced manufacturing, and food processing.
The forum opened with parallel sectoral roundtables and pitching sessions featuring focused dialogues on emerging technologies, innovation, and investment models. These sessions enabled structured industry-to-industry interactions, pitching by Italian companies, and the identification of joint ventures, co-development avenues, R&D partnerships, and value-chain integrations, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry said in a press release.
The ministers engaged with leading Indian Unicorns to explore cooperation in digital innovation, startup ecosystems, AI, deeptech, fintech, and industrial technology solutions.
The defining outcome of the engagement was the formal signing of the agreed minutes of the 22nd session of the India-Italy Joint Commission for Economic Cooperation (JCEC). This signing operationalises the productive discussions held during the JCEC sessions and establishes a concrete roadmap for future economic collaboration between the two nations.
The Italy–India Business Forum 2025 concluded on a strong and forward-looking note, reinforcing bilateral ambitions to build resilient supply chains, promote sustainable growth, and expand cooperation across high-technology sectors. The forum has further elevated the India–Italy Strategic Partnership, setting the stage for deeper economic linkages, enhanced market access, and expanded collaboration in innovation-driven industries.
