41st Annual Competition Policy Conference:
Competition Policy and Economic Security
Thursday, 14 November 2024
With new dynamics on both sides of the Atlantic, leaders face a crucial decision between maintaining a rules-based approach to competition policy or adopting a more industry-oriented approach. This decision is a difficult one to make, in particular as economic security dominates the agenda. But what role should governments play in striking the right balance between openness and strategic autonomy? Join us on Thursday, 14 November for our 41st Annual Competition Policy Conference, where we’ll look and the pros and cons of both approaches.
