Brazil Sports Tech Summit unveils speaker lineup and agenda for integrity-focused event
The Summit will feature a full day of panels, discussions, and live presentations aimed at debating the future of Brazilian sports. Distinguished authorities and executives from global sports, government, and the industry will share their perspectives on three key themes: driving innovation, safeguarding integrity, and leveraging intelligence to shape the future of sport.
“The CBF created in 2025 the Brazilian Football Integrity Unit, responsible for tackling match-fixing. Since then, mechanisms and workflows have been implemented that resulted in a significant decrease in reports from companies monitoring the sports betting market,” highlighted Eduardo Gussem, Integrity Director of the CBF.
“We believe that through transparency, integrity, awareness, and above all, education, we can build a much safer and healthier environment. Participating in an event with the main leaders of the sector is therefore a great honor.”
“This edition of the Brazil Sports Tech Summit represents a crucial moment for collective action. With the evolution of the sports betting landscape in Brazil, fostering robust integrity measures is fundamental,” stated Scott Sadin, Co-CEO of IC360.
“We believe this event provides an essential platform for critical collaboration between regulators, sports entities, and technology providers to address challenges such as match-fixing and to shape a transparent and sustainable future for Brazilian sport. Our involvement reinforces the shared commitment to protecting the industry’s credibility for everyone.”
For Alex Fonseca, CEO of Superbet, “the Brazilian Sports Tech Summit is an important opportunity to bring together government, clubs, leagues, and companies around a common goal: to think about the future of sports based on innovation, integrity, and responsibility.”
“Participating in a panel with national and international entities and authorities to foster the debate on integrity is a necessary step. Without integrity and innovation, the future of sports is threatened. Superbet is proud to participate in this event and share our experience in building a regulated and sustainable market for the country.”
Highlighted panels include:
* Match-fixing and global monitoring: Sabrina Perel (NFL), Graciela Garay (CONMEBOL), Eduardo Gussem (CBF), Adrian Ford (Premier League), moderated by Stephen Thurley from Genius Sports, will explore the latest global strategies to protect fair play.
* 20 years after the “Máfia do Apito” scandal: integrity expert Paulo Schmitt, who prosecuted the case, and Tiago Horta Barbosa from Genius Sports revisit the lessons from one of the most significant refereeing controversies in Brazil.
* The true value of official data: perspectives from the São Paulo Football Federation, Brazil’s NBB league, and Football DataCo.
* Refereeing 2.0 – AI in action: the Premier League’s pioneering semi-automated offside technology (SAOT) will be demonstrated by Harry Lennard, former EPL referee and Genius Sports’ subject matter expert.
* Regulatory reform and growth in Brazil: government leaders such as Régis Dudena (Ministry of Finance, SPA) and Giovanni Neto (Ministry of Sport) join Ana Carolina Luna Maçães (Esportes da Sorte), Alexandre Fonseca (Superbet), Scott Sadin (IC360), and Luiz Felipe Maia (MYLaw) to discuss the future of sports betting regulation in Brazil and the importance of combating illegal betting.
* Responsible Gaming: Paul Buck, CEO of EPIC Global Solutions, and gaming industry specialist Martin Lycka will debate customer protection measures based on real-world experiences and the role of education in this area.
* Innovation in sports technology: Chris Dougan and Guilherme Buso from Genius Sports, alongside Georges Didier from GLI, will showcase cutting-edge detection tools and strategies for market growth.
“We look forward to contributing to the debates at the event on how to make this work sustainable not only in an emerging betting market like Brazil, but also in other jurisdictions represented by some of the participants,” said Paul Buck, CEO of EPIC Global Solutions.
“Bringing together leaders from government, sports, and the betting industry at events like this is crucial to stimulate both the conversations and the actions necessary for a collaborative approach.”

ASUS Seizes Market Leadership in the OLED Monitor Market as Shipments Soar in 2025
This milestone underscores the company’s commitment to delivering more than just monitors – it reflects a user-first strategy focused on elevating the overall display experience. By expanding its OLED portfolio across both QD-OLED and WOLED technologies for gaming, professional, and creator segments, ASUS ensures solutions are tailored to diverse user needs. Unique innovations such as OLED Care Pro, Neo Proximity Sensor, TrueBlack Glossy, and DisplayWidget Center go beyond performance, enhancing usability, longevity, and visual immersion. This consumer-centric approach transforms OLED monitors into a complete experience, driving user preference for ASUS products and solidifying the company’s position as the No. 1 OLED market leader.
Driving growth through innovation and diversity
ASUS is accelerating its OLED momentum through a broad, innovation-driven portfolio that spans gaming, creator, and professional segments – leveraging advanced panel technologies, robust burn-in protection, and rapid product launches to meet the needs of a diverse and growing user base.

- Advanced OLED technologies: New models, such as the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W and ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG, integrate Tandem OLED technology and TrueBlack Glossy coating, delivering higher peak brightness, wider color volume and enhanced panel longevity.
- Burn-in protection: Proprietary ASUS OLED Care Pro suite – including the Neo Proximity Sensor – helps safeguard panel lifespan by switching the display to a black screen when no user is detected.
- Rapid product cadence: In early 2025, ASUS introduced the 27-inch QD-OLED ROG Swift PG27UCDM (4K @ 240 Hz) and the blazing-fast ROG Strix XG27AQDPG (1440p QD-OLED @ 500 Hz).
Market momentum and strategic vision
TrendForce data reveals that OLED monitor shipments are growing at a breakneck pace – surging by 65% year over year in Q3 2025, with global shipments reaching 644,000 units. The increasing popularity of OLED displays for gaming has been a major, but not the only factor in this growth. As OLED panel technology continues to gain traction among gamers, the strategic investment and execution by ASUS have allowed it to rise swiftly in market share, overtaking long-time rivals.
Beyond gaming, ASUS ProArt OLED monitors are a favorite among content creators who need to pair next-level contrast and color performance with professional-grade accuracy, multiple HDR format support, wide-ranging connectivity, and intelligent calibration tools. ASUS ZenScreen OLED monitors give PC users of all kinds the superior color performance of OLED panels in a portable form factor.
Vincent Chiou, ASUS Global Vice President and General Manager of the Display Business Unit, observed: “ASUS has long been dedicated to innovation in display technology and impeccable quality. In addition to receiving high praise from gamers, the industry-leading ROG gaming monitors and the ProArt series designed for content creators have also made significant inroads into portable and medical fields, earning widespread recognition and favor. Moving forward, ASUS will continue to prioritize user needs at its core, delivering an unparalleled visual experience to consumers.”
The ASUS commitment to innovation
PC users of all kinds can expect to see ASUS to continue to innovate in this space with new OLED monitors that debut new panel technologies into diverse form factors, deliver enhanced reliability and performance in a variety of usage scenarios, and push the envelope with even higher-performance designs.

Sultan Almasoud on the Top Trends in Technology and Esports in Saudi Arabia – Tech & Sourcing @ Morgan Lewis
Dr. Sultan Almasoud, managing partner of Morgan Lewis’s Riyadh office, has been closely involved in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s rapid evolution into a global hub for innovation. His insights on the questions below shed light on the trends reshaping technology and esports—and the opportunities they unlock for investors and operators entering the market.
Q&A: SULTAN ALMASOUD
1. What are the most significant technology trends currently driving growth in Saudi Arabia?
Saudi Arabia is undergoing one of the most ambitious digital transformation journeys in the world. The most significant trend is the rapid adoption of AI across government, financial services, healthcare, and industrial sectors. Vision 2030 has accelerated investment in AI-ready infrastructure, digital identity, automation, and data platforms that support new digital services at scale.
We also are seeing strong momentum in cloud migration, driven by hyperscaler expansions, data localization policies, and new solutions that make it easier for public and private entities to adopt cloud-native technologies. In parallel, fintech innovation, digital payments, and open banking are creating a dynamic ecosystem of startups, investors, and regulators working together to modernize the financial landscape.
In addition, Saudi Arabia’s giga projects are acting as large-scale accelerators for advanced technologies, while strong regulatory frameworks around data, cloud, and cybersecurity are providing international investors with clarity and confidence. Combined with significant investment in digital talent and localization, this is enabling sustainable, long-term technology-driven growth across the Kingdom.
2. How is Saudi Arabia positioning itself as a global hub for esports?
Saudi Arabia has made esports a national priority, fundamentally reshaping the sector. The launch of the Saudi Esports Federation (SEF) and the Esports World Cup, supported by major public investment commitments, has placed the Kingdom at the center of global competitive gaming.
But the strategy extends beyond events. The country is developing training academies, production studios, esports arenas, and digital platforms that sustain year-round player and audience engagement. This ecosystem-driven approach is drawing global publishers, teams, and content creators who now view Saudi Arabia as a foundational market for long-term esports growth.
3. What opportunities do you see emerging for investors and companies entering the Saudi tech and esports market?
There is tremendous opportunity at the intersection of technology, entertainment, and digital infrastructure. For technology companies, opportunities are especially strong in AI solutions, cybersecurity, cloud services, digital identity, and smart city platforms.
In esports, the most compelling opportunities lie in content creation, talent development, gaming studios, tournament production, and technologies supporting broadcasting, analytics, and community engagement. Investors who understand the regulatory environment and align with the Kingdom’s long-term vision will find a market eager for strategic partnerships.
4. What challenges should companies keep in mind when operating in these fast-evolving sectors?
These sectors are evolving quickly, which makes regulatory navigation an important challenge. Companies need to stay aligned with requirements around licensing, content regulation, data protection, and foreign investment—areas that are developing alongside the industry itself.
Another key challenge is specialized talent. Whether it”s game design, AI engineering, or esports event management, building local capability is essential. Companies that invest early in training programs, knowledge transfer, and local partnerships will be best positioned for sustainable growth.
Ultimately, success requires a long-term commitment to the market, strong local relationships, and an understanding of national priorities as the Kingdom advances its digital transformation goals.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Saudi Arabia is positioning itself at the forefront of global innovation, with technology and esports playing central roles in the nation’s economic transformation. As investment accelerates and new digital ecosystems emerge, companies that build strategic partnerships and engage deeply with local priorities will be poised to lead. Morgan Lewis is committed to helping clients navigate this dynamic landscape and capture the opportunities shaping the Kingdom’s digital future.

What to expect from Gaming Malta at ICE Barcelona
From regulatory certainty and talent depth to immersive innovation, Malta will showcase its full iGaming ecosystem at ICE Barcelona 2026. The Malta experiential showcase booth promises a unified national presence highlighting why the island remains the home of gaming excellence.
Given the sweeping reforms proposed and passed in iGaming jurisdictions worldwide in recent times, it is hardly surprising that ‘regulation’ has remained the most pressing issue for operators over the past two years.
In a turbulent landscape though, Malta has nurtured a long-established reputation for regulatory stability that has enabled the picturesque Mediterranean republic, with a population of just over half a million people, to punch well above its weight.
At ICE Barcelona 2026 in January, the island’s qualities as an iGaming jurisdiction will be showcased to the sector like never before at the Malta booth.
Designed to promote the destination as the world’s online igaming jurisdiction and the home of gaming excellence, the Malta space will be a hub of activity throughout gaming’s biggest show, with a virtual reality roulette experience created by Malta-based Draw & Code offering a compelling centrepiece.
“We have built the world’s iGaming Silicon Valley in Malta, and the expo space will be testament to our relentless approach in this regard,” says GamingMalta CEO Ivan Filletti. GamingMalta is an independent non-profit foundation jointly established by the Government of Malta and the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA).
A coordinated national presence
The Malta booth will serve as a live ecosystem, bringing together leading industry voices, including founders, operators, service-providers and regulators, with visitors able to discover first-hand how businesses scale from Malta.
Notably, a coordinated national presence will be on show at gaming’s most influential annual gathering. For the first time, GamingMalta and the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) will be joined by government’s economic development agency Malta Enterprise, Malta’s largest bank, Bank of Valletta (BOV) and Identita responsible for citizens’ identity management and the implementation of migration processes will come together to present a united front.
This collaborative representation is not only designed to amplify Malta’s credibility – by enabling questions to be answered on a range of topics in the same place, from licensing and banking to staffing. It also signals unity in action.
“Going as a unified front communicates government and ecosystem alignment; that Malta isn’t a loose cluster but a coherent jurisdiction that supports long-term business,” GamingMalta explains. “This is especially persuasive to institutional investors and regulated operators.”
Such alignment is illustrated by Malta’s relatively predictable regulatory outlook. With GamingMalta’s ongoing R.E.S.P.E.C.T. campaign spear heading reputation management for the industry through the pillars of responsible gambling, entertainment, speed, professionalism, enhanced due diligence, consistency and talent, the focus is now on cementing Malta’s status as the home of gaming excellence.
Embracing the sector
According to GamingMalta, though, the attraction of Malta is “a sum of all the parts rather than one silver bullet”.
Regulatory certainty, international recognition and reducing market entry friction are important factors, while the ecosystem density on the island ensures experienced suppliers are plentiful.
Additionally, as a springboard to the European Economic Area, with English in use as the language of business, and with substantial talent and immigration pathways, there are a multitude of reasons for gambling businesses to land in Malta.
Above all, GamingMalta believes the island has established a jurisdiction that has fully embraced the sector, from cross-political support to initiatives like the iGaming Council – a GamingMalta-led initiative that brings together operators and policy-makers.
A cornerstone of the Maltese economy
Underpinning Malta’s presence at ICE will be the government’s recently published Envision 2050 long-term strategy, which sets out clear and measurable targets for the nation’s development.
At the heart of this, Malta is targeting a more sustainable average annual GDP growth rate of 5% by 2035 driven by strategic investment in seven priority sectors – one of which is gaming.
Moreover, gaming has already proven itself to be a cornerstone of the Maltese economy. According to Envision 2050 projections, the sector’s contribution is expected to rise from €1.5bn (£1.31bn/$1.76bn) to between €2.3-€2.8bn, making up 6-7% of the nation’s projected GVA by 2035.
With a focus on strengthening leadership in the gaming industry, ensuring transparency, player protection and fair competition, Envision 2050 will ensure the sector continues to be a major contributor towards the national economy.
According to GamingMalta, this blueprint signals a clear north star, showing how Malta is “a safe and resilient nation, inspired by heritage and driven by progress, fostering a healthy quality of life for all”.
‘Make It In Malta’ campaign
The creative thread which will support this drive at ICE is the ‘Make It In Malta’ campaign, highlighting success stories and case studies from a mature and practical ecosystem for growth.
“This approach reinforces the ‘home of gaming excellence’ brand by showing evidence – such as deals, hires, regulatory clarity and investment – rather than simply asserting it,” adds GamingMalta, which underscored the strength of “operator-led storytelling”.
GamingMalta adds, “Nobody promotes a jurisdiction better than the companies who have grown there. They supply credibility, concrete metrics and relatable roadmaps for peers. Success breeds success and Malta is the perfect stage for your global ambitions.”
A talented workforce
There is solid evidence to back up such claims. At a recent iGaming Council meeting, new investments totalling €60m by different operators were confirmed.
Furthermore, Malta’s 14,000-strong gaming industry workforce, as well as its safe and stable work environment, is widely recognised as a key growth driver. According to an MGA survey last year, 85% of gaming operators based in Malta were satisfied or highly satisfied with the availability of skilled personnel and the quality and cost-effectiveness of local training opportunities versus other leading jurisdictions.
Similarly, around 80% of respondents were satisfied or highly satisfied with the ease of labour mobility, with favourable perceptions regarding workforce ethics even higher at 87%. Malta also offers an appealing quality of life attracting top tier talent to the island many working in the igaming industry.
From a gaming workforce perspective, GamingMalta stresses that Malta’s pool of talent will be the key differentiator in the next phase of growth.
“Talent scales businesses,” says GamingMalta, who added that institutions like the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology (MCAST) offer courses targeted at individuals who aim to progress in the gaming industry.
“Without a pipeline of developers, ops staff and compliance specialists, operators stall. That’s why migration policy and skills programmes – including Identità and Malta Enterprise initiatives – are critical. Business-friendliness remains the accelerant, but stable regulation and accessible talent are the engine.”
“Nobody promotes a jurisdiction better than the companies who have grown there… Success breeds success and Malta is the perfect stage for your global ambitions”
A technological convergence
Malta is also benefiting from a timely convergence of technology through the simultaneous growth of esports, game development and immersive innovations.
“The respective ecosystems can feed into and collaborate with each other, albeit as different animals,” GamingMalta says. “Ultimately, it all boils down to entertainment and how consumers are attracted or relate to entertainment platforms.
“We will be consolidating the gambling sector by focusing on a strong regulatory framework ensuring transparency and fair competition and simultaneously accelerate interactive entertainment sectors through fiscal initiatives, technological innovation and talent development.
“Malta’s long-term strategy is to build a resilient, innovation-driven, high-value economy. The gaming, esports and interactive media sectors align perfectly with this national direction because they represent the type of future-proofed, knowledge-intensive industries Malta aims to anchor over the next 25 years.”
GamingMalta’s own ‘Manifesto’ builds on this drive with a blueprint designed to build on 20 years of success to secure the future of Malta as an in-demand destination for operators.
Among the key pillars of the Manifesto’s 10-point plan are a focus on keeping corporate tax competitive, maintaining political support, improving sector skills and developing off-island relations, as well as driving up responsible gaming standards and encouraging innovation.
Attracting and retaining operators
With a strong regulatory framework, competitive gaming tax structure and strategic position as a gateway to European gambling, casino and lottery markets, over 350 operators are already based on the island.
However, Malta’s gaming industry stakeholders are laser-focused on providing a framework that encourages further growth – and, like the operators it hosts, the desire is to attract, as well as retain.
Some of the industry’s biggest names have relocated to the republic. Meanwhile, at the end of 2023, across Malta’s largest 100 operators by turnover, the average period of operation on the island was 13 years -illustrating that once major players arrive, they tend to stay.
As GamingMalta CEO Filletti says following ICE earlier this year: “Malta may be small in size, but our impact on the iGaming industry continues to be immense.”
Now, as a small nation with a big reputation, Maltese stakeholders are aligning to harness opportunities at major events like ICE, so the island can build on its status as the gold-standard of iGaming industry destinations.
