Speaking at the SiGMA Central Europe 2025 Summit in Rome, Opposition and Partit Nazzjonalista Leader Alex Borg urged Europe’s iGaming and digital sectors to embrace “Trust, Talent, and Technology” as the three pillars for long-term success and sustainable growth.
Borg praised Italy’s recent licensing reforms and called for stronger European collaboration and consistency in regulation. “Trust starts with regulation, reputation and integrity. When the rules are clear and credible, you don’t just build markets – you build ecosystems,” he said, highlighting the importance of transparent and responsible governance.
He noted that iGaming today extends beyond platforms and promotions, evolving into “a fully-fledged digital services industry encompassing data science, cybersecurity, payments, and AI.” Emphasising education and talent development, Borg stated that “jurisdictions that plan ahead and invest in talent and education will gain enduring advantage.”
Referring to Malta’s 20-year legacy as a pioneer in remote gaming regulation, Borg said “credibility compounds over time – in investor confidence, skilled careers and market resilience.” He urged regulators, operators, and educators to align around risk-based frameworks, safer technologies, and expanded training. “When vision meets discipline, growth endures,” Borg concluded.
