Building Digital Capacity to Strengthen and Support Law Enforcement Agencies

On March 25-26, representatives from digital markets and technologist teams from competition and consumer protection authorities participated in the International Competition Network’s (ICN) Technologist Forum. More than 20 agencies, including the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore, convened with the goals of sharing experiences and promoting increasing digital and technology capacity in regulatory and enforcement agencies. It is the first such global meeting of technologists from competition and consumer protection agencies.

This Forum was organised by the International Competition Network’s technologist group and hosted by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. The plan to organise this Forum was part of the ICN mission to draw on the existing knowledge and best practices of government agencies who share a common mandate.
