Featuring in the first episode of CNN Philippines’s new TV series, ‘The Future’, SiGMA Group Founder Eman Pulis emphasized SiGMA’s role in bringing the iGaming and the tech community together during an interview with Jared Dillinger and Daniel Robbins. He also touched on Manila’s role as a hub for iGaming in Asia, saying that the country had ‘done extremely well in regulating the gaming space.’

“We’re bringing those two verticals closer together and the potential for cross pollination has been fantastic. I see SiGMA as a vehicle that’s driving change,” he explained.

“Online gaming and tech businesses have little to no boundaries – they can expand and think globally, faster than any other businesses that require brick and mortar as part of their business. I talk not of globalisation, I talk of glocalisation. It’s important to go local with your global mission.”?
