Conference Description

About the course

The European Commission has set the priority to eliminate barriers that prevent Europe from fully reaping the benefits of the internet and digital technologies. As the Commission itself has stated, online barriers hinder  citizens’ access to goods and services, limit the horizons of internet companies and start-ups, as well as they reduce the competitiveness and productivity of businesses and governments. 

The Competition Policy & Digital Markets executive education course allows participants to understand how competition policy can be an effective tool to further the objective of a Digital Single Market in the European Union, promoting competitive markets, fostering innovation, and enhancing market efficiency overall to the benefits of European consumers.

The course combines different learning approaches:

• Interactive training sessions on issues related to the Digital Single Market and competition matters;
• Workshops and case studies which will offer insights on the relation between competition law and the EU Digital Single Market;
• Group and individual practical exercises to consolidate knowledge and encourage discussions;
• Active debates between trainers and participants;
• A keynote speech by a high-level expert with a sound experience in the field of EU competition law and digital markets.
