With SBC Summit 2025 just around the corner, excitement builds as the finalists for the highly anticipated Final Pitch competition have been unveiled. Event organizers are spicing things up with intriguing updates about how the summit will unfold. On Thursday, September 18, 2025, the Feira Internacional de Lisboa will host the Emerging Markets conference track. This track will dive into the critical issues impacting markets in the Philippines and India, two countries undergoing substantial regulatory shifts with even more changes on the horizon. Set to take place on the third day of the summit, this Asia-focused track covers markets valued at over $18.3 billion in 2024, promising even greater growth. Prior days will explore opportunities in Africa, Eurasia, and the Middle East, leading up to this key moment on the Emerging Markets Stage. Discussing the importance of this conference track, SBC CEO and Founder Rasmus Sojmark passionately stated, If you’re building a global gaming business, you cannot overlook Asia. This track highlights exactly why this region should be a cornerstone of any long-term growth strategy. SBC offers a vital platform where dialogue between regulators, operators, suppliers, and investors flourishes, and the Emerging Markets stage encapsulates this spirit. Attendees will engage in crucial discussions, such as the panel Asia: Navigating Regulation, Opportunity, and Uncertainty. Particularly timely is India’s Regulatory Roadmap: The Next Decade for Gaming, focusing on the sweeping changes following India’s total ban on online gambling, a game-changer for industry expectations. The panel titled Philippines: Life after POGOs will explore the evolving local gambling landscape in the wake of significant regulatory and legislative shifts and the potential for new bans. If you're invested in the fast-evolving gaming industry in this region, being part of the Emerging Markets conference tracks focusing on Asia is simply essential.
