How can governments strengthen economic security while preserving open and competitive markets? This interdisciplinary conference brings together economists, legal scholars, policymakers and practitioners to examine the growing tension between economic security objectives and the principles of a market economy. Particular attention will be devoted to the impact of economic security policies on competition law, market regulation, foreign investment screening, state aid, public procurement and technological sovereignty within the European Union. Organised by Radboud University, the conference seeks to foster dialogue on how resilience and strategic autonomy can be reconciled with innovation, competition and market integration in an increasingly fragmented geopolitical landscape.
