About Us

OxFora is an international platform dedicated to dialogue on the governance of innovation.

It brings together judges, policymakers, industry leaders, practitioners and scholars to exchange perspectives on intellectual property, competition law and technology policy — areas that increasingly shape the global economy.

As technological progress accelerates while legal frameworks remain fragmented across jurisdictions, decisions taken in one court, authority or institution can have consequences far beyond national borders.

OxFora provides a space where these developments can be discussed openly and thoughtfully among those directly involved in shaping them.
