Applications are being invited to join two of the industry’s most recognised programmes created to support the enterprise economy. The iGB Startups Accelerator (30 June) and Pitch iGB (1 July) are part of the iGB L!VE international business event at Excel London, continuing initiatives launched at ICE Barcelona in January.

As part of iGB L!VE’s commitment to supporting new businesses and fostering the entrepreneurial spirit driving the industry, the iGB Startups Accelerator is aimed at founders, innovators, investors, and operators.

The half-day programme, focused on early-stage founders entering or scaling within gaming and betting, combines expert talks, founder insights, investor perspectives, and interactive sessions designed to accelerate product development, fundraising, and market entry. It also delivers valuable networking opportunities connecting founders, venture capital firms, operators, and industry leaders.

Pitch iGB is the startup pitching competition at the heart of iGB L!VE. Five selected early-stage companies from across the iGaming ecosystem will present live to a judging panel and industry audience. The programme is designed to showcase innovation and connect founders with investors, operators, and partners. Each startup delivers a 4-minute pitch followed by a 4-minute Q&A. The winning company will gain significant industry exposure, including event visibility and dedicated PR coverage.

Reflecting on the initiatives, Stuart Hunter, Managing Director of World Gaming, stated:
“The entrepreneurial spirit sits at the core of the industry, and we are delighted to use our events to provide a platform for innovative startups.

Early-stage businesses may be small but possess immense creativity, expertise, and ambition. Both iGB Startups Accelerator and Pitch iGB will help build essential connections for new companies.”
