Sergo Sanikidze, Head of the Consumer Rights Protection Department at the Georgian Competition and Consumer Agency, has been awarded the prestigious international Antitrust Writing Award in the field of competition policy. The competition is jointly organised by the academic journal Concurrences and the George Washington University Law School.
The award ceremony took place in Washington, D.C., convening approximately 150 high-level participants, including representatives of competition authorities, leading technology companies, academic institutions, and international organisations from a wide range of jurisdictions.
Sergo Sanikidze’s award-winning research provides a rigorous and policy-oriented analysis of the role of competition in the commercialisation of scientific research, identifying structural challenges and advancing targeted policy responses.
Prepared within the framework of his doctoral research, the paper further explores the transformative implications of artificial intelligence for competition policy and puts forward a proposed enforcement framework tailored to Georgia and other developing economies, with a view to strengthening institutional effectiveness and market outcomes.
