About NextGen Competition

Our mission: To create a fair and competitive technology ecosystem that empowers consumers, workers, and small businesses by supporting robust enforcement of antitrust laws and policies.

What we do

We track, explain, and push for action to rein in the power Big Tech holds over markets and everyday life. That means:

  • Following the major antitrust cases and remedies

  • Investigating app store rules, search and ad-tech dominance, e-commerce gatekeeping, and cloud/AI consolidation

  • Spotlighting how policy choices affect prices, privacy, innovation, and local economies

Why now

Big Tech has never been more powerful. Historic antitrust cases are colliding with an AI land grab, cozier ties between tech CEOs and the administration, and fierce fights over platform control of distribution and data. The stakes for setting the rules of the digital economy, and deciding who benefits, have never been higher.
