ABOUT SIGMA EUROPE

Returning to its roots, SiGMA Europe attracts an international and diverse lineup of industry leaders to its annual Malta Week event, bringing a convergence of expo, conference, and networking. Its economic contribution to this typically cold shoulder month makes it a mainstay for the islands.

• An impact assessment report carried out by E-Cubed Consultants revealed that the SiGMA Group’s Malta-based summit generates significant economic activity on the island – contributing to the sustainable growth and development of the Maltese economy through job creation, leisure and retail activity, and tourist attraction.
• SiGMA Europe generates enough economic activity to sustain the equivalent of 950 jobs for one year, while international visitors to the event in November will occupy over 60% of 4 and 5-star hotels in Malta during their stay.

The SiGMA conference serves as a nexus to connect affiliates, operators, and suppliers from across the Gaming industry with valuable opportunities for both investors and entrepreneurs seeking to shape the future of this multi-billion dollar sector.

Malta, being amongst one of the first European states to regulate the gambling sector, is at the heart of this global industry and one of its main pillars. A business-friendly government and the strong reputation held by its regulatory authority make it a natural choice for SiGMA’s presence in Europe and a solid foundation for the future of the field. 

In Malta, the gaming industry has seen 20 years of growth and success. It now directly contributes more than 8% of the country’s GDP. Nearly 10,000 individuals are employed in the gaming sector today, which accounts for about 4% of all jobs, with hundreds of professionals employed by the sector’s support services.
