CT Interactive Reflects on SiGMA World 2026

Martin Ivanov, Chief Operating Officer at CT Interactive spoke to SoloAzar about the company's achievements at the event, the significance of winning Best Slot Game Provider 2026, the business opportunities generated through industry networking, and CT Interactive's strategic priorities as it enters its next phase of growth.

SiGMA World: A Successful Event and Industry Recognition

"SiGMA World was a particularly successful event for CT Interactive, highlighted by our recognition as Best Slot Game Provider 2026 at the SiGMA Awards. This prestigious achievement reflects the dedication of our team, the strength of our gaming portfolio, and our continued commitment to delivering value to our partners.

Beyond this important recognition, our primary objectives were to strengthen international partnerships, explore new business opportunities, and present the next stage of CT Interactive's development.

A key focus was our expanding aggregation business, which builds on our established position as a game provider. By combining our proprietary content with portfolios from additional studios through a single integration, we aim to offer operators greater flexibility, broader content choices, and more efficient market access.

Winning this award while expanding into aggregation marks an important milestone in our evolution, reinforcing both the strength of our core business and our ambition for future growth".

Networking Opportunities and Business Relationships

"Industry events remain essential for building meaningful business relationships, and SiGMA World offered valuable opportunities to exchange perspectives with operators, suppliers, and technology partners.

For CT Interactive, the discussions were particularly relevant to our aggregation strategy. Operators are increasingly looking for broader content portfolios, simplified integrations, and solutions adapted to individual market requirements.

These conversations help us better understand commercial priorities, identify potential partnerships, and align our offering with the evolving needs of regulated markets. Our focus is on transforming these connections into sustainable business relationships".

Aggregation and the Evolution of Content Distribution

"One of the most significant industry developments is the growing importance of aggregation as a strategic solution rather than simply a content distribution model.

Operators increasingly value efficiency, flexibility, and access to diversified portfolios without the complexity of managing multiple integrations. At the same time, regulatory requirements and local market preferences are making tailored content offerings more important than ever.

This direction closely aligns with CT Interactive's strategy. We see considerable potential in combining our established gaming portfolio with additional content from partner studios, supported by a scalable aggregation model that addresses both technical and commercial requirements.

The future of content distribution is not simply about offering more games, but about delivering the right content to the right markets through a more efficient model".

CT Interactive's Strategic Priorities for the End of 2026

"Our priorities for the remainder of 2026 are focused on further developing our aggregation business, expanding our content offering, and strengthening our presence in regulated markets.

We are working to integrate additional studio portfolios into our distribution model while meeting the requirements, and flexibility that our operator partners expect. At the same time, we remain committed to developing our proprietary content and expanding our international partnerships.

Industry events have played an important role in supporting these objectives throughout 2026. ICE Barcelona, SBC Summit Lisbon, and SiGMA World have provided valuable platforms for international business development, while BEGE in Sofia remains particularly relevant for strengthening regional relationships and exploring new opportunities.

Our recognition as Best Slot Game Provider 2026 at the SiGMA Awards further strengthens our position in the industry and motivates us to build on this success.

Looking ahead, our ambition is clear: to position CT Interactive as a trusted partner offering both high-quality titles and a broader range of gaming content through aggregation, creating long-term value for operators across regulated markets".
