SiGMA Euro-Med: Expanding the Horizons of Gaming and Tech
SiGMA Group, a Malta-based iGaming expo, is set to broaden its reach with the rebranding of its event from SiGMA Europe to SiGMA Euro-Med. This strategic move aims to emphasize the event's influence and presence in the broader Mediterranean region, rather than just focusing on Eastern Europe[1].
The new name, SiGMA Euro-Med, highlights the event's broader geographic scope, encompassing both European and Mediterranean regions. This rebranding is designed to leverage the strategic location of Malta, which offers a unique blend of warm weather and picturesque surroundings, ideal for hosting a unique indoor-outdoor festival atmosphere during the event scheduled for September 1-4, 2025[1].
Malta, being a hub for gaming regulation and innovation, particularly with the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) overseeing global operators, provides a strategic platform for SiGMA to expand its influence in the Mediterranean region[4]. The rebranding to SiGMA Euro-Med signifies a deeper engagement with this region, aligning with SiGMA's broader strategy to create unique experiences in Europe's gaming sector[1].
A strategic agreement with the Gozo Ministry and InvestGozo will lead to exclusive, high-level events being hosted in Gozo. This move positions Gozo as a competitive hub for high-value enterprise and international investment in the tech and iGaming sectors[2]. A VIP event for C-level officials will further solidify Gozo's standing in the tech and iGaming sectors.
The SiGMA Poker Tour is another highlight of the event. The tour aims to foster community, networking, and collaboration within the poker world. The second leg of the tour is about to commence, taking place at the Portomaso Casino. The tournament offers a €150,000 guaranteed-prize pool, catering to both seasoned players and newcomers, offering various formats and stakes[3].
The agenda for SiGMA Euro-Med 2025 is packed with sessions covering a wide range of topics, from Malta's evolving regulatory landscape, tax implications for operators, private equity structuring, esports, immersive tech, marketing performance, leadership, startup growth, AI, cybersecurity, digital banking, responsible innovation, mental health in leadership, and the role of women in gaming[5].
Eman Pulis, the founder of SiGMA Group, is at the helm of this ambitious project. The rebrand ensures that Malta continues to be recognized as a premier hub for networking, innovation, and growth in the gaming and emerging-tech sectors[6]. SiGMA aims to foster new partnerships, tap into emerging opportunities across Europe, the Mediterranean, and beyond, and create inclusive and dynamic settings for participants from around the world[7].
The Affiliate Retreat, taking place from August 28 to 30, will host 50 top-tier affiliate leaders. This exclusive event promises to be a pivotal moment in the gaming and tech sectors, further solidifying Malta's position as a trusted hub within the Euro-Med landscape, offering credibility, infrastructure, and a well-established ecosystem.
With SiGMA Euro-Med, SiGMA Group is not just expanding its reach; it's reinforcing Malta's pivotal role in its global roadmap[8]. The new name, SiGMA Euro-Med, reflects the event's broader scope and underscores SiGMA's commitment to creating a dynamic, inclusive, and innovative platform for the gaming and tech sectors.
The SiGMA Poker Tour, a part of SiGMA Euro-Med, not only cultivates camaraderie among poker enthusiasts but also provides opportunities for networking and collaboration within the poker world [3]. As SiGMA Group expands, it aims to delve deeper into various sectors, such as finance and technology, and contribute to shaping the lifestyle and business landscape in the gaming industry [7]. SiGMA Euro-Med's agenda also includes sessions on sports tech and esports, reflecting the event's commitment to embracing and fostering innovation across multiple domains [5].
