WHAT WE DO

A FEW WORDS ABOUT OUR COMPANY

From a start-up to a global enterprise

Founded by Eman Pulis in 2014, the SiGMA Group is an events and media organisation focused on gaming, emerging tech, digital health, and affiliate marketing.

The company currently employs over 100 employees and has offices based in Malta, Cyprus, Manila, São Paolo, India, and Belgrade.

 

Having diversified its original mission, the company is supported by four main pillars; SiGMA Events, SiGMA Play, Venture Capital, and the SiGMA Foundation.

1. SiGMA EVENTS

In 2014 the SiGMA Group held its first event in Malta, an iGaming conference attended by just 1000 delegates. With industry backing and a commitment to quality, SiGMA has grown exponentially, taking its events brand from a local startup to a global enterprise. Its most recent event, held in November 2022 as part of Malta Week, welcomed 25,000 international guests for a week of expo, conference, and premier networking.

 

In 2021 the Group made its debut in the UAE, successfully launching its first event in Dubai. This was followed in 2022 with new locations – Toronto and Belgrade.

 

In 2023, the SiGMA Group is expanding into four brand new markets — Kenya, Brazil, Manila, and Cyprus. Regional events like Kenya, Brazil, and Cyprus will feel more intimate than our other shows, allowing us to focus on a more exclusive crowd. International summits, taking place in Dubai, Manila, and Malta, will retain the traditional summit format.

2. SiGMA PLAY

In 2020 the SiGMA Group branched into affiliation, generating valuable traffic for iGaming operators and offering a one-stop-shop solution for the gaming sector through the launch of SiGMA Play.

 

SiGMA Play is an internationally renowned site for online casinos and sportsbooks, featuring online reviews, bonuses, and guides for players navigating the casino game industry. Our industry experience and knowledge bring valuable and trustworthy advice to players everywhere.

 

The site offers quality content, where operators are clearly represented, and customers can find the best casinos catering to their needs. We’re also aiming to provide a regulatory perspective through our Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) services.

 

SiGMA Group has recently diversified its media portfolio with the acquisition of Casino Bee (online gambling) and the promotion of AIBC (crypto). The Group plans on expanding its media portfolio with the acquisition of more assets in the future.

3. VENTURE CAPITAL

Ikigai Ventures is a UK-based, seed-stage, venture capital firm committed to supporting bright ideas worldwide, investing in the next generation of founders, and incubating great ideas from the ground up.

 

The Fund assists in identifying promising new businesses and provides funding, technical skills, and mentorship to help create and scale transformative companies. Currently, the company focuses on investments in verticals such as esports, blockchain, fintech, AI, and other frontier tech.

 

The limited partners are leading European tech founders and investors or collectives that have built and scaled some of Europe’s biggest companies in these verticals. As of 2022, Malta has become the nexus for the fund’s annual general meeting.

 

Additionally, in a drive to construct a community that can grow sustainably and provides extra value to all stakeholders, the Ikigai Collective includes around 20 founders and developers from various sectors.

4. SiGMA FOUNDATION

The SiGMA Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the SiGMA Group, reflecting the company’s commitment to supporting those in need around the world through fund-raising activities, education, and the generation of crucial skills to enable self-confidence and personal empowerment. The organisation was founded with the intention of shifting the focus of philanthropy from passive giving to active participation.

 

The Foundation uses the money raised to fund its many projects as well as to support communities in need and other charitable organisations – understanding the role played by education in ending poverty. Beyond financial aid, several projects focus on providing those in need with the opportunity and resources to learn crucial skills. Projects include the inauguration of a number of schools, the latest of which will cater to 700 children in Ethiopia.

 

In the past few years, SiGMA Foundation has directly organised Brown’s Camino de Santiago challenge, a hiking program through rural northern Spain, and the Kilimanjaro Challenge.
