Morocco’s Competition Council (Conseil de la Concurrence) is joining Stanford computational antitrust project which brings the total number of affiliated competition agencies to over 80 worldwide.

The Stanford Computational Antitrust project, founded and led by Thibault Schrepel (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam / Stanford CodeX Center for Legal Informatics), is the world’s leading initiative at the intersection of competition law and computational methods. It brings together competition agencies and academics to develop empirical and technological tools for modern antitrust enforcement. The project receives no private funding.

Morocco’s Competition Council is an independent constitutional institution responsible for ensuring transparency and fairness in economic relations, including the analysis of anti-competitive practices, merger control, and market regulation. Fully operational since 2018, the Council has established itself as one of Africa’s most active competition agencies, with a track record of merger decisions and antitrust enforcement that spans digital markets and traditional sectors alike.

“We are delighted to welcome the Moroccan Competition Council to the network,” said Thibault Schrepel. “Their expertise and perspective will strengthen the project’s African and Mediterranean representation. Their enforcement experience is directly relevant to the computational challenges we are working to address.”

The affiliation deepens the project’s engagement across Africa, where competition authorities are increasingly confronting the enforcement challenges raised by digital markets.
