This summit aims to provide promising new companies the invaluable chance to engage with institutional investors, venture capitalists, and private equity holders, linking innovators to experienced investors.

Naomi Barton, Clarion Gaming’s Global Portfolio Director, remarked on this pivotal addition to the iGB L!VE format, stating, Our experience with the start-up community shows that new businesses face challenges in securing funding and mentorship and entering the industry.

She emphasized that bringing together investors and entrepreneurs is facilitated by a unique, high-value networking environment, enabling start-ups to meet iGaming founders, create partnerships, and secure long-term investments. Naomi has praised the iGB Startup Summit as a significant advancement in iGaming, focusing on venture capitalists and investors, with a goal to provide entrepreneurs and start-ups the funding and insights necessary to complete and expand their projects. Despite recent economic uncertainties, Clarion Gaming and its reputable events are committed to fostering innovation. In a competitive market, success relies not just on being first but also on continual technological advancement. The iGB L!VE will take place on July 2-3, 2025, at ExCeL London, expected to gather around 15,000 iGaming and affiliate leaders, aiding businesses in expanding their online ecosystems and more.
