New and established financial technology (fintech) companies will have the opportunity to showcase their latest innovations at two major events in London this year.
Thousands of industry professionals will be in attendance at iGB L!VE at the ExCel London in early July for an event which is one of the most influential in the lucrative gambling sector. Representatives from operators of platforms such as fast withdrawal betting sites will be eager to learn about the new products which could influence the industry over the next few years.
Organisers Clarion Gaming are expecting record numbers to attend, with pre-registration up by 21.5 percent compared to the same stage last year for the iGB L!VE event in Amsterdam. This year’s edition includes the TED of iGaming comprising 30 inspiring sessions and a keynote delivered by Claire Williams OBE, the former head of the Williams Formula 1 racing team.
New fintech firms will have the opportunity to network at events such as the Start-Up Accelerator, the Affiliate and Operator Mixer and Technology in Gaming.
Naomi Barton, Clarion’s Global Portfolio Director responsible for iGB L!VE said: “We know from working with the start-up community that new businesses struggle with securing funding, meeting mentors and entering the industry.
“Equally, investors lack a centralised, professional and sympathetic environment where they can connect with talented entrepreneurs and in the process gain early access to iGaming’s cutting-edge start-ups.
“In order to bring these two important communities together we are creating an exclusive Chatham House style high-value networking environment where start-up enterprises can meet with iGaming founders, spark new partnerships and potentially attract long-term investment.
“The Start-Up Summit reflects iGB L!VE’s status as the go to platform for new entrepreneurial businesses which are the future of iGaming.”
The global fintech industry’s attention will switch to 155 Bishopsgate later in the year when FinTech LIVE London 2025 is staged on October 7/8. The event features exclusive talks, fireside chats and panels featuring trailblazers from UniCredit, EY, Vodafone Business, Marsh Visa, Uber Payments, Just Eat and many more.
