Q&A
13:45-14:00This discussion assessed the performance of the DMA to date. Is the new law opening up digital markets? Who is taking advantage of those new opportunities? If we see incumbent big tech companies take advantage of openness as well as European entrepreneurs, is this consistent with the goals of the law? Finally, does the law require or encourage digital platforms to organize - either through growth or divestiture - to leave more activities to third parties outside the corporation?
