SUMMARY:Next-Generation Regulation: Competition Law in the Digital\, Intelligent\, & Sustainable Economy
DESCRIPTION:In an era defined by digital transformation\, environmental urgency\, innovation and artificial intelligence\, competition law faces unprecedented challenges. This one-day international conference\, co-organized by the GW Competition & Innovation Lab and the Bogazici University Innovation and Competition Based Development Studies Research Center\, brought together academics\, practitioners\, regulators\, and private sector representatives to explore how competition policy must adapt to safeguard innovation\, sustainability\, and market fairness. Sessions focused on digital markets\, AI enforcement\, and green cooperation\, and they drew from recent decisions by the TCA\, EC and global regulatory developments. The event fostered dialogue on the practical design of next-generation regulation that balances economic efficiency with societal values. \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					\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Agenda\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\n\nTime\nSession\n\n\n\n\n9:00 AM\nRegistration and Welcome Coffee\n\n\n9:30 AM\n\nWelcoming RemarksDr. Asli Helvacioglu (Bogazici University) \nDr. Hanna Stakheyeva (GW Competition & Innovation Lab) \nProfessor Aurelien Portuese (George Washington University) \n\n\n\n10:00 AM\n\nOpening Keynote – “The Future of Competition Law in a Rapidly Changing Global Order \nAntonio Capobianco (Deputy Head of the Competition Division\, OECD)\n\n\n10:30 AM\n\nSession 1: Competition in the Digital Economy Moderator: Dr. Asli Helvacioglu (Bogazici University) \n\nFeatured speech: “Platform Power and Digital Regulation: Global Lessons\, Local Realities” by Esin Aygun (Turkish Competition Authority)\nPanelists: Dr Zeynep Ayata (Istanbul Policy Center/Sabanci University)\, Selcuk Yilmaz (TCA)\, Can Saricicek (ACTECON)\, Natasha Afinogenova (Google)\, Cavit Yantac (Microsoft)\n\n\n\n\n12:00 PM\nCoffee Break\n\n\n12:15 PM\n\nSession 2: From Algorithms to Accountability: Navigating AI’s Impact on Competition Law \n\n\n\n\n\nModerator: Dr. Kerem Cem Sanli\, Bilgi University\nPanelists: Dr. Christian Bergqvist (University of Copenhagen)\, Elena Ponte (Federal Trade Commission)\, Dr. Philipp Roos (Freshfields)\, Sencer Ecer (Compass Lexecon)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1:15 PM\nLunch Break\n\n\n2:15 PM\n\nSession 3: Sustainability in the Shadow of the Competition Policy \n\n\n\n\n\nModerator: Dr. Muzaffer Eroglu (Bogazici University)\nPanelists: Dr. Julian Nowag (Lund University/University of Hong Kong)\, Dr. Hanna Stakheyeva (The GW Competition & Innovation Lab)\, Elif Acelya Balki (Migros Group)\, Ramazan Ertas (Nakkas Holding)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3:15 PM\n\nSession 4: Green Claims Under Scrutiny: Tackling Deception in the Market \n\nModerator: Dr. Eda Sahin (Bath Spa University)\nPanelists: Hande Karakulah (L’Oreal)\, Sezin Turan (RE&UP Recycling Technologies)\, A.
