What is the iGA Innovation Launchpad?
After last year’s successful first edition, we will host the second annual iGA Start-Up Launchpad with the hope that it will boost innovation and new ideas within the gaming industry.
The launchpad is a great opportunity for regional and global start-ups to get some attention from industry leaders, meet with peers, and make new business contacts.
Finalists will have the opportunity to pitch their business to a judging panel as well as over 150 C-level iGaming executives and investors.

Terms & Conditions
Beacon Events has been supporting and promoting bright ideas and producing educational conferences for over 20 years. We truly understand the spirit of entrepreneurship and the importance for various industry leaders to meet and discuss new ideas and trends.
We hope to be able to offer a platform for start-ups to display new and exciting products and services, in front of a more consolidated audience of industry players. We are looking for companies that are beyond just the ‘concept phase’. There must be a demonstrable product/service.
Below are terms and conditions for your application to qualify:
- ‘Early Stage’ only. This is a Launchpad, therefore we are looking for early stage companies. Ideally those at prototype stage or who have launched in the last few months. The company hasn’t gained significant media/investment attention and also are not at the idea concept! Publicly traded or large, well-known private companies are not eligible;
- Ready to deploy capital. It is preferable that the company or project has not raised a large amount of capital from institutional investors;
- A company not a product. This is a stage for new companies and entrepreneurs to gain attention and investments; it is not for established companies to launch new products or even divisions;
- Solid core team. The team should ideally consist of at least 2 people;
- Scalable Solution. We are looking for entrepreneurs with a unique perspective that are looking to take a scalable business solution to the next level;
- English Speaking. While we are looking for solutions and businesses that span the globe, and although iGaming Asia Congress is an English-speaking event, fluency in English is not required to present at the Launchpad.
