[Laure Claire Reillier @lreillier]

When @Forbes names you the #1 angel investor in the world, and you've built a marketplace with 300 million users, your pattern recognition on platform disruption is hard to match.

I'll be sitting down with @fabricegrinda on 16 June to unpack what he really thinks about AI and marketplaces. Spoiler: the narrative is wrong.

Many believe that AI is bad news for marketplaces. @fabricegrinda has invested in over 1,000 of them and seen 300+ exits.

He couldn't disagree more.

Inspiring keynote presentation from @Benoit.Reillier who shared his 2026 trends #PlatformLeaders #Trends2026

[Laure Claire Reillier @lreillier]

Tech and policy are increasingly intertwined in the EU and the UK as new digital market rules are moving compliance from legal backrooms to product teams and roadmaps.

This is directly shaping products and services coming to market.

At Platform Leaders, our panel "From Policy to Product: Compliance by Design" will unpack how tech teams and regulators can work with each other.

Expect a frank discussion between Brian Williamson, Partner at Communications Chambers, Alexander Waksman, Partner competition law at @gunnercooke and @oliverbethell, Head of competition, regulatory engagement and advisory, Google on how to:
- Translate fast-evolving regulation into practical product choices
- Balance innovation with accountability
- Build trust through fair and interoperable design
