Riyadh: The Digital Regulatory Academy (DRA), affiliated with the Communications, Space and Technology Commission, held a training program titled 'Role of Digital Regulation in Market Competition,' in collaboration with Access Partnership. The program aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the impact of competition in digital markets, highlight how digital regulation affects ICT, and provide participants with principles and models of market competition.

According to Saudi Press Agency, the two-day program brought together more than 40 experts in public policy, regulatory law, economics, and engineering from 14 entities across the public and private sectors, including entities that are members of the National Regulations Committee and service providers in the communications, space, and technology fields.

The program introduced participants to core economic principles of competition in digital markets, analyzed competitive dynamics in platform-based markets, assessed regulatory approaches and their effectiveness, and explored the design and critique of regulatory interventions, as well as the management of complex stakeholder environments.
