Stanford, May 2026 — The Stanford Computational Antitrust Project, an initiative led by Dr. Thibault Schrepel, is pleased to announce that the Bangladesh Competition Commission (BCC) has joined its global network.

The Stanford Computational Antitrust Project brings together over 80 competition agencies from around the world to explore how computational methods can strengthen the analysis and enforcement of competition law. Membership is independent and carries no financial obligation.

The Bangladesh Competition Commission was established under the Competition Act, 2012 and is the statutory body entrusted with the application of competition law in Bangladesh. The Commission is responsible for preventing, controlling, and eradicating collusion, monopoly, abuse of dominant position, and other practices adverse to competition. It plays a central role in shaping the competitive conditions of one of South Asia’s fastest-growing economies.

The partnership will focus on methodological exchanges and applied research. The BCC will contribute to the project’s annual reports, participate in its events, engage in exchanges with peer agencies across the network, and collaborate on building legal frameworks and computational tools adapted to the realities of fast-evolving markets.

Dr. Thibault Schrepel, founder of the Stanford Computational Antitrust Project, stated:

“The Bangladesh Competition Commission is exactly the kind of partner we hoped to welcome. Bangladesh is one of the most dynamic economies in South Asia, and the questions its competition authority faces are at the heart of what computational antitrust can address. We are delighted to begin this collaboration and look forward to the work ahead.”
