Though technology regulation has tradition ally been treated separately from antitrust concerns\, panelists Katri Nousiainen and Benjamin Waber argue that the current antitrust regimes and regulatory practices in the US and the EU hav e worked together to stifle competition and innovation. By protecting incum bents with compliance costs that disproportionately burden new entrants\, c onsolidating market power through the control of proprietary data\, and cre ating innovation bottlenecks in the failure to keep pace with rapid technol ogical shifts\, competition and innovation are effectively hindered. Explor ing the critical tension between fostering innovation and mitigating risks\ , our panelists will discuss the need to establish new regulations that str ike a balance between these two concerns with an international legal standa rd and shared regulatory framework to guide competitive\, responsible progr ess. Bring your perspectives\, your curiosity\, and your appetite for what promises to be a lively lunchtime discussion. Registration Required. Lunch will be provided .
