E.CA Expert Forum 2025

This year’s E.CA Expert Forum will take place on 19 May at ESMT Berlin, located in the prestigious Staatsratsgebäude in the heart of Berlin, the former seat of the East German government.

The conference will cover all aspects of competition law enforcement. This year’s edition will include a session on the intersection between competition policy, the green transition and competitiveness.

The event will be opened by a keynote speech from Teresa Ribera, the Executive Vice-President for a Clean, Just and Competitive Transition. Other keynote speeches will be given by Andreas Mundt, President of the Bundeskartellamt, and Emanuele Tarantino, Chief Economist of the DG Competition.

The leading competition policy conference in the DACH region stands out for its emphasis on economic research and policy. We are expecting 300 competition policy experts, including leading competition lawyers and economists, policy makers and public authority representatives from Europe and abroad.
