The G7 Competition Authorities and Policymakers’ Summit, hosted by Canada’s Competition Bureau, took place on October 1 and 2, 2025, in Ottawa. The summit brought together competition enforcement and government delegates from various countries, including Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the European Union.

The primary focus of the summit was on digital competition issues, particularly algorithmic pricing. Discussions revolved around recent enforcement experiences, detection strategies, and emerging policy issues related to digital markets. The summit also highlighted the potential impacts of algorithmic pricing on competition policy and enforcement.

In preparation for the summit, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) presented a new scoping note on algorithmic pricing and competition, which informed the discussions. Additionally, an update to the compendium of approaches to improving competition in digital markets was published, showcasing the G7 authorities' commitment to addressing challenges in this area.

This annual summit serves as a platform for G7 competition authorities to share knowledge and engage on emerging competition issues, emphasizing the importance of collaboration in addressing cross-border competitive impacts.
