Italy, Germany and Europe in Times of Geoeconomic Disorder

The Italian-German Strategic Dialogue is a forum for discussion and exchange between think tanks, diplomats, businesses and academics from Germany and Italy. The third edition of the Dialogue took place in Rome in September 2025, addressing European competitiveness and security guarantees for Ukraine within the broader framework of European strategic interests. The roundtable, organised by the Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI) in collaboration with the Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (SWP) and the Hanns Seidel Stiftung (HSS), brought together leading Italian and German figures from government, industry, academia and the defence sector. Participants held an open exchange on how to strengthen Europe’s resilience and reaffirm the strategic partnership between Rome and Berlin in a time of geoeconomic disorder. The meeting opened with remarks by Giancarlo Giorgetti, Italy’s Minister of Economy and Finance.
