About this Event

Join this fascinating discussion on Tuesday 4th November 2025 at 17:30-19:00 (BST) at University College London (UCL) and online on Zoom.


About this talk:

Where does economic power live in the digital age? Fausto Gernone argues that power is not just about market share or size but about position: the ability to shape the web of relationships through which goods, services and data flow. By looking at production as a collective process where agents are tied by informational interdependence, the talk reframes the question of who wins and why. It shows that control over the architecture of cooperation – the interfaces, standards and rules that connect firms – can turn ordinary parts of the economy into strategic chokepoints that concentrate value.


Meet the panel:

  • Fausto Gernone, PhD Candidate at the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose
  • Dr Cecilia Rikap, Head of Research and Associate Professor in Economics at the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP)
  • Tommaso Valletti, Professor of Economics at Imperial College Business School and Adjunct Professor at the Norwegian School of Economics
