2023 trends in Competition for tech companies

The discussion explored new regulatory trends in the tech sector, such as the EU Digital Markets Act and other overlapping tech regulation enacted at national level, with a focus of the opportunities and challenges of these trends for tech companies.

In October 2022, the EU finally adopted the Digital Markets Act - a unique piece of legislation aimed at regulating certain digital and tech providers. The DMA ushers in a new era of tech regulation worldwide, addressing the relationship between Big Tech companies and their competitors, business partners and end users. The DMA draws from past and ongoing experience of the European Commission and other national authorities in tech investigations across different sectors, which will inform the manner in which the DMA is interpreted, applied and enforced.

The opportunities provided by this new regulation are numerous. But there is also increasing regulatory scrutiny worldwide.

Diving into this topic, you'll get a front row seat at snapshots and case studies at EU level and in the UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Italy.

We discussed why you should be excited about the opportunities the new regulatory environment presents to the tech sector, as well as some emerging legal obstacles that will need to be navigated along the way.
