Eileen is the founder and CEO of Reg(X), a center focused on understanding the complexity generated by the intangible digital economy. The role of data as an asset, the importance of algorithms, the automation of tasks (AI) and the emergence of new business models has challenged the way governments regulate. The digital economy has altered the traditional definition of markets, created new enforcement challenges, and blurred administrative boundaries domestically and internationally. In Reg(X) we aim to simplify the function of regulation by analyzing its impact in competition, in various markets and sectors, the transversal challenges raised by digitalisation, as well as the institutional and transboundary challenges that it creates.

Eileen´s working philosophy is to construct an intellectual environment that will inspire and challenge academics, professionals, policymakers, stakeholders, students, and new generations to address issues and influence policymaking to find innovative legal solutions to complex realities. Ms. Matus aims to foster professional debate around issues at the intersection of law, technology, regulation, and competition. She uses a systemic approach to study topics related with competition, regulation, innovation, development, and the interaction between Law and Tech..
