On Monday the Embassy met with Professor Giuditta Cordero-Moss to talk about international commercial and private law. Ms Cordero-Moss, professor at the University of Oslo with extensive experience in these fields, has contributed to establishing the UNIDROIT Nordic Law Centre. It is a research centre under the UNIDROIT Academy, with participation from institutions in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. The centre focuses on Nordic law and comparative law within the field of private law, supporting research in these areas. It also aims to increase international awareness of Nordic law and promote knowledge of UNIDROIT’s work in the region. This initiative is an important step towards strengthening the Nordic legal community.   UNIDROIT also offers opportunities for students and researchers to apply for research positions at its headquarters in Rome. This is a great opportunity for students to enhance their academic work in an international environment.

We are thrilled to share the highlights from our first Trade Mission to Italy, featuring an excellent group of Norwegian clusters and companies within the green maritime industry. This initiative, organized by Innovation Norway’s office in Milan, aimed to strengthen collaboration between Norway and Italy for a greener and safer maritime sector. The program started in Genoa with bilateral meetings with leading market players such as GNV and FINCANTIERI, as well as .Autorità di Sistema Portuale del Mar Ligure occidentale. Our journey continued in Naples with highly productive meetings with Alilauro Volaviamare SpA, Grimaldi Group, and Assarmatori Shipowners Association. All meetings emphasized the shared commitment between Norwegian and Italian entities towards sustainable maritime solutions. Finally we proudly promoted the Norwegian presence at the #NaplesShippingWeek, facilitating extensive networking opportunities and underscoring the potential for future collaborations.

Napoli Shipping Week / Port&ShippingTech Conference 2024 🇮🇹 Reducing the environmental impact of commercial shipping has long been a priority for both the UN, via the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), and the European Union, with a focus on CO2 emissions. While the global shipping industry is adopting green corridors along major routes, the Mediterranean lags behind. The only corridor under construction, from Suez to Gibraltar, bypasses European ports. It is urgent to better define development paths for propulsion systems, maritime infrastructure, port facilities (including dry port infrastructure), and regulatory frameworks. Addressing these important issues, I pleased to say I am giving a speech at this year's Napoli Shipping Week / Port&ShippingTech Conference titled "The Port of Bergen’s / Bergen Havn sustainability journey: past and future port adaptions". My speech is part of a Norwegian panel discussion, and it will be a true privilege to join Johan Vibe, Ambassador at the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Rome and Øystein Huglen, Head of Innovation and Technology at NCE Maritime CleanTech. Hopefully we will showcase why we need to rethink everything, from technical design to the business models itself, in order to secure a sustainable future at sea. Environmental Port Index (EPI) is a great example of this. I will also address why a predictable political framework is essential for the success of the energy transition. Regulations and regulative framework are identified as the most efficient drivers for change. Grazie mille to Innovation Norway Italy and Emanuela Teani for inviting me to this important port and shipping tech conference. https://lnkd.in/d7TM6aVB Naples Shipping Week | Port&ShippingTech | Sabina Crociati | Innovation Norway | Innovation Norway in Europe | Emanuela Teani | Environmental Port Index (EPI) | Even Husby
