The US is negotiating with India to finalize an interim trade deal aimed at reducing proposed tariff rates. In ongoing negotiations with the European Union (EU)\, there is growing emphasis on aligning priorities in areas like investment\, digital trade\, and sustainability. A key part of this alignment is competition policy\, which helps ensure fair access to markets and enables smoother cooperation between regulators across borders. This trend is also reflected in India’s recent trade agreements\, such as the India–UK Free Trade Agreement signed in May 2025\, which is expected to boost bilateral trade by £25.5 billion by removing tariffs and improving access to services\, and the Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA) with the EFTA bloc signed in March 2024\, aimed at strengthening investment ties and regulatory collaboration. These developments point to a broader shift toward trade frameworks that reduce friction\, support innovation\, and build long-term economic partnerships. As India and its global partners adapt their trade and strategic relationships amid shifting global dynamics\, it is important to explore how trade and competition policy can work together to promote economic resilience and global cooperation. \nIn this context\, The Dialogue organized a focused roundtable in collaboration with The GW Competition and Innovation Lab to examine how evolving geopolitical trends are reshaping trade priorities\, with a particular focus on regulatory cooperation and competition policy as tools to reduce trade barriers. \nIn addition to this roundtable\, Professor Portuese participated in several other panels at this important event\, and Frederic Jenny served as the keynote speaker.

As vice-chair of the competition committee of the the Institute of Lawyers of Sao Paualo (IASP)\, our Brazil Initiative Leader Eduardo Gaban is a featured speaker. \nKey topics include challenges and trends in regulation and competition jurisprudence as seen by Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court (STF)\, the role of competition in regulating innovation markets\, and a re-evaluation of institutional frameworks\, particularly concerning regulatory agencies and CADE (Brazil’s Administrative Council for Economic Defense). The event concludes with a final keynote on CADE’s operations within regulated sectors\, with various presidents and experts from legal and academic institutions participating throughout the day.

The European Union’s Digital Markets Act marks a major shift in digital competition regulation – moving from traditional ex post enforcement to a proactive\, ex ante regime targeting digital platform ‘gatekeepers’. Promoted as a blueprint for global digital regulation\, the DMA is already influencing legislative agendas beyond Europe. This webinar explores new research that traces the DMA’s impact on emerging digital competition frameworks in Brazil\, India\, and Japan. Through a comparative legal lens\, the study reveals how these jurisdictions have engaged with\, adapted\, or departed from the DMA model to suit their institutional\, economic\, and political contexts. The session will examine what this tells us about the prospects for international regulatory convergence and the limits of the so-called ‘Brussels Effect’ in the digital economy. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Participants: \nDr. Aaron Lane is a Senior Fellow at the GW Competition & Innovation Lab at The George Washington University.
