About this event

We open 2026 with Startup of the Year winners 2024, Vega Gibraltar a business built locally by experienced professionals who chose to step away from established careers to create a globally focused performance agency.

If you want to be part of a first hand conversation on growth, efficiency and decision-making in a changing iGaming landscape then this event is for you. Join us for an real discussion with a panel of Gibraltar's innovators and entrepreneurs. Hear their personal journeys, challenges faced and triumphs.

Vega will share what business has really looked like since winning Startup of the Year, what changed, what didn’t and how working closely with in-house teams across large regulated organisations has reshaped their thinking around growth, efficiency and long-term sustainability.

With the UK’s new gaming tax increase now in force and cost pressure rising across the industry, this conversation is particularly relevant for iGaming professionals navigating tighter margins, regulatory complexity and increased scrutiny on marketing spend.

This session aligns directly with Startup Grind Gibraltar’s “Build Local, Think Global” reaffirming the need for strong foundations in Gibraltar while operating, competing and thinking internationally. Designed for students, founders, in-house professionals and senior leadership, this is a practical, straight-talking discussion about how businesses grow responsibly, locally and globally, in today’s environment followed by lot's of meeting new people and making great connections.
