Italy‑US Pax Silica tech alliance

Entities: Armando Varricchio · Tilman Fertitta · Pax Silica · Brindisi · Antonio Tajani

Overview

In late July 2026 Italy formalised its participation in the Pax Silica initiative, a bilateral partnership with the United States aimed at strengthening technological sovereignty. The agreement, signed on 31 July in Brindisi by Italy’s special envoy Armando Varricchio and U.S. Ambassador Tilman Fertitta, focuses on securing supply chains for artificial intelligence, semiconductors and critical minerals. Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani and regional officials highlighted the pact’s role in reducing reliance on single‑source exporters and supporting local investments such as Eni’s planned gigafactory. The European Commission has already endorsed the Pax Silica declaration for EU‑related matters, underscoring the broader goal of a resilient, collaborative tech supply‑chain ecosystem for both nations.
