Description

New digital platforms in a variety of forms are constantly emerging and expanding the so-called match-making or sharing economy. This panel – composed of regulators, in-house counsel and private practitioners – will explore the concept of ‘digital platforms’ in its various forms. Who are the stakeholders, what are the public interests potentially at stake, are there specific antitrust, regulatory, consumer-protection related issues to be addressed and how? The session will also examine how to maintain a level playing field between digital platforms based on disruptive business models and traditional businesses potentially subject to heavy regulation.
