Event Details

The digital space is top of mind for antitrust authorities globally and one central question is whether existing antitrust law and enforcement practice remains fit for purpose. The roundtable will tackle this question head on, through a series of discussions bringing together leading officials (including from the European Commission, France, Germany and the UK), academics, and economists, with senior leaders from the tech industry and disrupted corporates. The roundtable will provide a forum for an open and constructive dialogue about antitrust enforcement in the tech space, enabling participants to exchange views and learn from one another's perspectives, and thus promote more effective enforcement.

 Confirmed speakers:

  • Nicholas Banasevic, Head of Unit, Antitrust, DG COMP
