Why should businesses care about competition issues?

Competition is key to creating well-functioning markets. Healthy competition makes it easier for companies to enter the market, challenge existing players and explore new business ideas. 

Course description

To ensure healthy competition, there are restrictions that prohibit companies from acting in ways that restrict competition. At the same time, not all cooperation is prohibited - there are permitted cooperations that actually promote competition.

• Where do you draw the line?
• Do companies with a strong position have a free hand in the market?
• How does it work when the public sector competes with private companies?

Public procurement is a way of harnessing market competition and using taxpayers' money efficiently. The company submitting the best offer is awarded the contract. Sometimes there may also be opportunities to cooperate with other companies during the procurement process. 

Public procurement is a way to benefit from market competition and use taxpayers' money efficiently. The company submitting the best offer should be awarded the contract. Sometimes there may also be opportunities to cooperate with other companies during the procurement process. 

• When is such cooperation allowed? 
• Are there limits to how much the public sector can buy directly without advertising?

These are some of the issues we will discuss together with invited guests from the Swedish Competition Authority. We will also go through the central parts of the competition rules, which you as an entrepreneur can benefit from in your business and inform about how you can tip the Swedish Competition Authority if you suspect that something has not gone right when it comes to competition or public procurement.
