Ewa Bakun, Clarion Gaming's Director of Industry Insight and Engagement said: "We have been providing start-ups with a gateway to industry investors and strategic partners since 2009, with international start-up events and competitions taking place at ICE London, ICE North America, ICE Africa and iGB Live! After a two-year Covid-induced absence I am delighted that Pitch ICE has returned and providing a platform for businesses that may be small in size but have a mountain of ideas, creativity and energy."

She added: "Over the last decade many of our start-ups have secured important investments and acquisition partners following their pitch presentations and participation at the most influential global gatherings of gaming operators. I would like to highlight the diversity of the shortlisted companies who will be debuting their start-ups at ICE London 2022. I believe this is a reflection of the changing face of the modern gambling industry where sustainability, diversity, and social responsibility are at the top of the business agenda. As an organising team we are all really looking forward to seeing each company showcase their potential and experience the best fresh thinking from the world's leading start-ups."
