About the conference
A one-day conference organised by the with
We live in interesting times for competition law. The growing inequality and technological disruption, as well as the development of "winner takes most" competition in markets marked by network effects, raise important challenges for competition authorities around the world. Old doctrines and approaches are put into question and there is a great appetite for new thinking in competition law.
The 果冻影院/White & Case annual Brussels event aims to offer a new forum for real 'outside the box' thinking about competition law and policy in Europe. The conference is structured in such as way as to promote dialectics and the opposition between different approaches (mainstream and heterodox) in competition law, the "pol茅miques" section of our debate offering the opportunity to delve into the essence of disagreements. We believe that such dialectic approach is needed in order to imagine and describe this "next generation competition law" that is emerging.
Themes of the conference are:
- Article 102: Extending the scope of the concept of abuse to pursue a more 鈥減opulist鈥� agenda? Focus on exclusionary abuses and excessive pricing
- Merger enforcement: Implications for the data-driven economy/innovation theories of harm
- The role of the State, competition law & regulation in the era of State capitalism
- Competition law in 2028: A free discussion
