The presence of the services of big technology companies is ubiquitous in much of our daily lives as consumers and citizens. From a competition law angle these companies have market power. Competition law’s aim is to counter the negative effects of this market power on consumers and competition. However, the question whether the concept of market power is still sufficient to capture the complex structure of power of large technology companies, and – if it is not – whether competition law (and the novel EU regulatory instruments, such as the DMA and DSA), is sufficient to capture and counter possible negative effects on the market and beyond (including in outer space).

This event will take place in-person on Tuesday 31 October 2023 at 12:00pm in the Board room, School of Law (MST.09.022)
