The Digital Lab is a leading research and policy hub focused on digital markets, competition policy, platform design, and data and privacy. We bring together researchers from economics, law, and business to explore how digital technologies are reshaping markets, regulation, and the broader economy.

Our expertise provides practical insights into enhancing competition policy and regulatory frameworks, particularly in fast-evolving digital environments. We also investigate business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-many (B2M) platform design, helping businesses and policymakers respond to new challenges and opportunities.

Our international partnerships and engagement activities, such as those with the University of Southern California (USC) Marshall Initiative on Digital Competition and Monash University’s Faculty of Law, ensure our work contributes to both national and global policy conversations.

By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and delivering research with real-world impact, the Digital Lab plays an active role in shaping the future of the digital economy.
