Why does the iGaming world keep choosing Malta? At NEXT Summit Valletta 2026, Ivan Filletti, CEO of GamingMalta, makes the case for the island as the place to build, base and scale a gaming business.

He's joined by Edric Zahra (CEO, Identità), Dr Jonathan Spiteri (Malta Vision 2050) and Magdalena Podhorska-Okolow (VP New Markets and Sales, Light & Wonder) for a grounded look at the talent, the ecosystem, the regulation, and where the island goes next.

Session presented by GamingMalta.
