What’s Next for the Mobile Ecosystem?
A Transatlantic Discussion

May 19, 2022

Mobile devices occupy an integral role in everyday life, with unprecedented innovation continuing to drive essential connectivity and productivity. The pace of evolution of the mobile ecosystem in recent years, and its vital role in modern societies, has in-turn demanded a parallel evolution in how the digital sector is regulated.

In this context, the EU and the US are currently ramping up cooperation on technology, industrial leadership, compatible standards and regulation through the newly formed Trade and Technology Council (TTC), and there is significant enthusiasm as to the positive impact closer cooperation between the EU and the US might deliver for consumers and innovation on both sides of the Atlantic.

As the TTC kicks into action, and as US regulators deepen their thinking and increase their activity in updating rules state-side through bills such as the Open Markets Act amongst others, this latest edition of the Tech Policy Talks provides an opportunity for policymakers from the US and the EU to gather for a public discussion on cooperation and regulatory development particularly as it relates to competition, industrial policies and the maturing mobile ecosystem.
