Competere continues to play an active role within the Global Trade and Innovation Policy Alliance (GTIPA), a global network of independent think tanks committed to advancing trade, innovation, and sustainable growth. As a founding partner, Competere contributes to evidence-based research and international collaboration to promote smarter, innovation-friendly regulatory frameworks.

During the 2025 GTIPA Summit, held the 23^rd of September in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the new report “GTIPA Perspectives: How Smart Deregulation Can Unleash Powerful Innovations Worldwide” was launched. The report highlights how excessive regulatory accumulation can disrupt innovation, reduce productivity, and slow economic growth, specially with small firms being the most affected by high compliance costs.

It presents that smart deregulation can unlock investment, create jobs, and foster competitiveness while reducing informality and market distortion. Released research indicates that easing regulatory burdens boosts employment, accelerates technological progress, and fosters sustainable development. Suggesting effective deregulation optimizes government role to enable innovation and inclusive economic growth.

Italy: Deregulation in Action

Competere, together with iCom, Institute for Competitiveness, has co-authored the section on Italy, showcasing the country’s initiatives in digital infrastructure, energy storage, and health data, exploring the following case studies:

• Ultra-broadband network deployment and data center expansion
• MACSEenergy storage mechanism
• Simplified health data procedures for research

Italy’s initiatives demonstrate the transformative power of regulatory simplification and market-based incentives to foster technological innovation, attract investment, and support sustainable growth. These programs, focus on streamlining approvals, providing long-term market signals, and enabling use of sensitive data, are a model for creating competitive, resilient, and inclusive digital and energy ecosystems.
