Christian Bergqvist

Christian Bergqvist serves as Associate Professor at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Law, affiliated with the Center for Business Law and Public Regulation. He teaches Danish-language courses 'konkurrence- og markedsføringsret' and 'Konkurrenceret', alongside English-language 'EC Competition Law', while supervising Master's and PhD theses in competition law domains.

His academic foundation includes a PhD from the University of Copenhagen (2006), complemented by professional experience as Assistant Professor at Copenhagen Business School (2008-2010) and legal practice at Bech Bruun and Plesner law firms.

Bergqvist's research centers on EU Competition Law applications within network industries (telecom, energy, transport) and digital markets. He examines sector regulation-competition law interactions, abuse of dominance frameworks, and economic theory integration. Recent scholarship increasingly addresses AI-driven collusion mechanisms and Big Tech regulatory challenges, particularly concerning FAANG companies.

Analysis of his 2024-2025 publications reveals converging trends: algorithmic pricing collusion dominates current output, while traditional sector-specific competition law analysis remains prominent in regulated industries. His work bridges theoretical antitrust frameworks with practical digital market enforcement challenges.

As an active graduate supervisor, Bergqvist mentors students through the University of Copenhagen's law programs. His institutional contributions occur primarily through the Center for Business Law and Public Regulation, where he engages in collaborative research on evolving competition law paradigms.
