The SiGMA Pitch at SiGMA Central Europe 2025, powered by RedCore, ignited the stage with a surge of entrepreneurial energy on 4 November at Fiera Roma. Designed as a catalyst for innovation, the competition brought together the brightest emerging startups in iGaming and tech to present their visions before a panel of investors, venture capitalists, and industry leaders ready to spot the next big disruptor.

A launchpad for innovation

SiGMA Pitch was about much more than a competition; it embodied the very core of innovation that fuels the international gaming and technology sectors. Supported by respected industry partners – Amazon Web Services (AWS), ZBX, Chips, R77-Global, CSB Group and the iGaming Academy – it served as an essential platform for founders to pitch their products, obtain funding, and build high-value partnerships.

Each startup took to the stage to share brief, yet engaging, presentations that simplified complex ideas into practical solutions that addressed the industry’s changing needs.  From advanced AI integrations and gamified engagement tools to responsible gaming solutions, participants demonstrated that creativity and a solid understanding of technology are still at the centre of the evolution of iGaming.

The spotlight moment

In an intensely competitive field, one name rose above the rest. Konstantinos Antonopoulos, Founder and CEO of INTERAD AE, the Greek technology company behind the innovative platform TOROTIPS, was declared the winner of the SiGMA Pitch Central Europe 2025 competition..

The judges were impressed by the technical depth, scalability, and practicality demonstrated in his presentation, putting TOROTIPS and  INTERAD AE  on the radar as a company and product to watch in 2025.

Building bridges through partnership

The SiGMA Pitch continues to adjust positively as a result of the collaboration between SiGMA’s corporate partners and the entrepreneurial community. The support of institutions such as the European Gaming and Amusement Federation (EUROMAT) is reinforcing SiGMA’s commitment to taking the lead in fostering sustainable growth in our industry while continuing to nurture innovative ecosystems throughout Europe.

The vibe at Fiera Roma was more than just competitive – it was the confluence of ambition and opportunity. It was clear through conversations between investors, founders and startups making connections with key operators, that SiGMA is well established as a global connector for business development, investment and innovation. 

From inspiring pitches to a notable partnership, SiGMA Pitch Central Europe 2025 was an actual demonstration of the ingenuity for tomorrow’s gaming and tech industries.
