Strategic Partnership Between ICE Barcelona and IGE Rome Advances

Alessio Crisantemi, founder of IGE Rome (April 12-14), believes that the Italian industry has progressed from being Europe’s manufacturing engine to become what he describes as “one of the intellectual drivers of the entire global gaming ecosystem.”

Speaking ahead of April’s event, which he confirmed will feature the participation of government departments, leading universities and institutional bodies, Crisantemi said, “The Italian industry showed up at ICE Barcelona with maturity, scale and confidence which will be repeated in Rome. The broader Italian delegation attended ICE to negotiate, expand and position themselves globally.”

Looking ahead to April, he said, “In Rome, the discussions will go beyond products; they will contribute to shaping the regulatory and strategic direction of the Italian market and beyond. It creates direct dialogue between industry, policymakers and regulators, not just among industry stakeholders themselves.

“In a sense, Barcelona opened the doors and Rome will define the framework. This continuity between global and national dialogue is precisely what makes the ICE/IGE partnership so strategic and so important for our industry as we move into the second phase of this key relationship.”
