SUMMARY:India's Competition & Innovation Forum
DESCRIPTION:The landscape of competition law and policy in India has evolved significantly since the establishment of the Competition Commission of India (CCI). With the rapid advancement of digital markets\, increased global integration\, and emerging challenges such as data privacy and artificial intelligence\, there is a growing need to reassess the framework of competition law to ensure it meets the demands of the modern economy. To facilitate this discussion\, the GW Competition & Innovation Lab of George Washington University is organizing\, on March 15\, 2025\, a conference in New Delhi. \nThis global forum brings together world-leading antitrust experts and key figures in the Indian antitrust landscape. The conference is a unique opportunity for scholars\, practitioners\, and regulators to exchange on cutting-edge issues related to Indian competition law and economics. The forum aims at addressing critical issues in the Indian economy related to competition law\, digital innovation\, and data privacy. \nThis event will bring together Indian and global stakeholders\, including policymakers\, legal experts\, academics\, and industry leaders\, to engage in dialogue and share insights on contemporary issues in competition law and policy. Additionally\, this initiative supports the Indian government’s Viksit Bharat Goals\, which aim to transform India into a developed nation through sustainable growth and innovation. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				Brochure
