Digitalized data are increasingly accumulated over Big IT platforms. Digital platform operators leverage the data to improve their own services. At the same time, this data concentration raises new challenges to competition authorities around the world from the perspectives of developing a fair and free competitive environment. The 18th CPRC symposium explores the broad issues on data concentration and competition policy and pursue possible measures to enhance competition across digital platforms.
