The signatories
The field of interest is particularly that of semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and critical minerals necessary for their development. The goal is to promote an ecosystem favorable to the advancement of these sectors and reduce dependencies on single exporting countries such as China. The declaration will be signed by Ambassador Armando Varricchio, special envoy of the Minister of Foreign Affairs for innovation and new technologies, and the United States Ambassador to Italy, Tilman Fertitta. The signing ceremony will also see the participation of the institutions of Brindisi and the Puglia Region.
The scope of application
The signing is part of the growing collaboration between Italy and the United States on innovation, artificial intelligence, and strategic technologies, as evidenced by Minister Tajani’s participation in early February at the first political summit on critical minerals held in Washington and organized by Secretary of State Rubio, an occasion in which Italy announced its intention to join the initiative. The European Commission has already signed the Pax Silica Declaration for matters within the competence of the European Union.
Tajani: positive impact for our companies
Highlighting with satisfaction the signing in Brindisi, Minister Tajani emphasized that “with adherence to Pax Silica, Italy confirms the political will to collaborate with the United States and other partners to promote the development of production process technologies. A collaboration that will have a strong positive impact for our companies and to strengthen our security and the unity of the West.”
