This week, the Authority is represented at the ICN Annual Conference in Manila, Philippines. The forum kicked off with the 2nd Global Governance of Competition Law & Policy Colloquium, hosted by the Philippine Competition Commission.
This forum brought together competition officials, academics, and practitioners to explore pressing themes including strategic trade and competition policy, AI public infrastructures, and competition considerations in the education sector.
The Authority’s delegation, led by Director-General, Kemei David, has so far participated in two key sessions — a workshop on the Trade-off between Innovation & Competition Policies and a Roundtable on AI and Competition Policy: Getting the Framework Right.
These sessions presented rich cross-disciplinary dialogue on the evolving role of competition law in AI markets and digital ecosystems, and come at a time when the Authority is reviewing the Competition Act to attend to these emerging issues.
We look forward to engaging with fellow competition authorities, academics, and thought leaders from across the globe as we shape the future of competition policy.
