Italy expands industrial and construction presence in Libya

Italian industry is significantly increasing its presence in Libya through major trade exhibitions and strategic partnerships. At the Libya Construction Expo in Tripoli, Italy organized its first official national pavilion, featuring 17 companies specializing in construction, engineering, and building materials. The event, which included Libyan Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibah and Italian Ambassador Gianluca Alberini, highlights a surge in bilateral trade and a growing interest in Libya’s infrastructure and property sectors.

In addition to construction, the Italian mechanical industry is targeting Libya’s energy and infrastructure sectors. ANIMA Confindustria Meccanica Varia has confirmed its participation in the Libya Energy and Economic Summit 2027. This initiative aims to consolidate the presence of Italian mechanical and plant engineering firms in the Libyan market, particularly within the oil and gas, energy, and water treatment sectors. These efforts align with Libya’s investment programs led by the National Oil Corporation and broader strategic cooperation frameworks like the Mattei Plan.
