Next-Generation Regulation: Competition Law in the Digital, Intelligent, & Sustainable Economy

In an era defined by digital transformation, environmental urgency, innovation and artificial intelligence, competition law faces unprecedented challenges. This one-day international conference, co-organized by the GW Competition & Innovation Lab and the Bogazici University Innovation and Competition Based Development Studies Research Center, brings together academics, practitioners, regulators, and private sector representatives to explore how competition policy must adapt to safeguard innovation, sustainability, and market fairness. Sessions will focus on digital markets, AI enforcement, and green cooperation, while drawing from recent decisions by the TCA, EC and global regulatory developments. The event aims to foster dialogue on the practical design of next-generation regulation that balances economic efficiency with societal values.
