One star startup applicant will be picked from across all verticals, including SiGMA, AIBC, Med-Tech World, and AGS, and will receive a €25,000 to €500,000 investment.
Start-up Village:
As part of the SiGMA startup village program, 100 companies will be hand-selected and given a free booth to display their products throughout the event, with the only distinction being whether they fall into one of two categories. This program is intended to help new businesses and entrepreneurs obtain attention and investment; it is not intended to help existing businesses launch new products or divisions.
Startups that are in the prototype stage or have launched within the previous few months are more likely to be chosen than those who have received substantial media/investment attention but are still in the idea stage.
Awards night:
On November 15, 2021, the Europe Gaming Awards will be hosted at The Hilton Malta Conference Centre’s Grandmaster’s Suite in St. Julian’s, Malta. This lavish awards event will recognise top leaders in the gaming industry in a celebration of success, in addition to providing outstanding networking opportunities.
The glamorous event will feature an art auction, with all profits going to the SiGMA Foundation for a range of charity causes, in addition to throwing a spotlight on some of the most fascinating and innovative ideas to transform the face of the Gaming sector. SiGMA Group has made the admirable choice to go green and offer vegetarian food during the prestigious awards evening as part of a conscientious effort to adhere to a sustainable way of living and working. The menu will be designed by some of the best chefs in the industry, without sacrificing style or flavor, adding a unique twist to the natural pleasure of fine cuisine.
Whova app:
During the event, delegates can maximise their time with a revolutionised event engagement and networking app Whoova. Whova is a virtual event management platform that professes to improve attendee engagement and expand networking opportunities. This platform will be available to all the guests attending Malta Week.
The platform is easy, fast, and effective and aims to increase ROI by helping attendees get the most out of the event.
Leisure activities:
We’re getting ready for a frantic three days of exhibition and conferences by organising a full day of exciting networking events for attendees prior to the show’s opening.
The SiGMA Football Cup competitions get things started, including a Women’s tournament for the first time this year. In the evening, delegates may break the ice with a friendly-competitive padel competition, a golfing event, and a Networking Poker Tournament before getting down to business on the 16th.
Lead by example:
Our objective is to provide participants with a one-of-a-kind experience. Going green and considering the environment while creating ecologically friendly events have never had so many advantages. Being environmentally conscious begins with us, the organisers and at the Malta Week exhibition, we have taken several comparable environmental considerations.
In addition to holding our Awards evening at the Hilton – a hotel that has been environmentally certified by the MTA, all of the carpets at the MFCC are 100% recyclable, as they will all be recycled after the event, and given the size of the floor, this is no minor achievement.
Closing Night
Last but not least Akon, the hip-hop sensation and one of Africa’s most well-known philanthropists, will perform on the Summit’s closing night. Alongside an A-list crowd, Djibril Cissé, the French professional football sensation will DJ at the same event ending the summit with a bang in true SiGMA style.
Preparations are already on for the island’s greatest closing night, which will be attended by nearly all of Malta’s gaming firms, as well as a huge number of visitors from overseas. The night marks the culmination of three days of networking at Malta Week.
