Italian term or phrase: Ministero delle Attività Produttive
Ministero delle Attività Produttive (già Ministero dell'Industria Commercio e Artigianato)

Ministry of Industry/Ministry of Productive Activities
Explanation:
the second term is used in Italian sites such as below, where it is abbreviated as MPA.

Unido site talks about the Ministry as Ministry of INdustry (which I find very appropriate, not in the Italian sense of "Industriali" but in the sense of "industriosita'", hence any productive activity.

Ministry of Business Affairs


Explanation:
On the Ministry's official site www.mincomes.it/ no official translation is given. So you either eave it untranslated or you coin a new one based on another country's similar structure. For example, Cuba has the "Ministry of Foreign Business Affairs":
www.portofbmt.com/news/pdfs/PORT2001Web.pdf
"A group visit to Cuban Ministry of Foreign
Business Affairs. From left, Donahue, Broussard,
Breier; Sra. Maria de la Luz, business director
for the ministry, Meyers, Allee; Sr. Guillermo
Rodriguez, interpreter, Hewes."

Useful site but not up to date


Explanation:
I misread your question and I provided a link useful for the ministers' names, not the for the ministry in English. Sorry!

Check out the site:
http://www.embitaly.org.uk/general/composition.html

It is the official site of the Italian Embassy in the UK, with a list that should contains the information you need. I say 'should' because it is not updated (Giuliano Amato appears as Prime Minister !!)

Ministero delle Attività Produttive
is given with the old name "Industry and Trade"

You may find there other useful terms.
