ABOUT
This conference revolves around a central question: How do regulation, industrial policy, and antitrust law shape technological change—and how, in turn, are they shaped by it? In a rapidly evolving global economy, innovation stands at the core of national strategy, competition policy, and industrial development. With Taiwan as a focal point, this event brings together leading voices from across jurisdictions to explore how regulation and antitrust law are adapting to —and possibly shaping— technological innovation against the backdrop of shifting geopolitical interests and national priorities.
本次研討會將圍繞一核心議題進行:法規、產業政策與競爭法如何形塑科技變革,亦或如何被科技變革所形塑?在快速演變的全球經濟中,創新已成為國家策略、競爭政策與產業發展的核心。本次研討會將以臺灣為焦點,匯聚來自各國之重要人士,共同探討在地緣政治利益與國家優先事項轉變下,競爭法與產業監管應如何因應,甚至可能進而主導科技創新。
The conference will be organized around three core themes, each explored in separate but interconnected panels.
本次研討會將圍繞三大主題,每項主題採取 既獨立又相互關聯的方式進行。
Panel I: Industrial Policy & Innovation
The panel will examine how industrial policy can promote or hinder innovation through, among other things, ex-ante digital platform regulation, IP policy, trade barriers, and merger control.
第1場次:產業政策與創新
本場次將探討產業政策如何透過數位平臺的事前管制、智慧財產政策、貿易障礙及結合審查等方式來促進或妨礙創新。
Panel II: Dynamic Competition in Antitrust Analysis
The panel will discuss the definition of “dynamic competition” in antitrust, strategies for integrating innovation into antitrust analysis, the interplay between IP and antitrust, and explore which policies are the most conducive to dynamic competition.
第2場次:競爭分析中之動態競爭
本場次聚焦於競爭法中「動態競爭」的定義、討論創新如何被納入競爭分析策略、智慧財產權及競爭法間的相互作用,並探索何種政策最有利於動態競爭。
Panel III: The Evolution of Global Antitrust Standards
The panel will canvass the evolution of global antitrust, the influence of the U.S. and EU on global standards, the role of consumer welfare in driving convergence, the viability of alternative standards, and the prospects for antitrust “universalism” amid diverse national contexts, with a special focus on the ASEAN region.
第3場次:全球競爭法標準之演變
該小組將探討全球競爭法的發展歷程、美國和歐盟對全球標準的影響、消費者福利在促進整合的角色、替代標準的可行性以及在不同國家背景下競爭法「普世主義」的前景,並特別關注東南亞國家協會(ASEAN)地區。
